Chapter 173: The Tenacious Diamond

Madison Square Garden, which was packed at this time.

UFC competitions, in fact, are getting better and better step by step.

Xiao Yong takes this fight very seriously, and as long as he wins this match, he will officially step into the top of the lightweight division.

Officially start the attack on the champion position.

Dana White was on the sidelines, a little painful and happy.

Xiao Yong has undoubtedly become another extremely popular new star in the UFC.

However, now all the super popular experts in the UFC are in the lightweight division.

This made him a little distressed.

Finally, in the passionate introduction voice of the host of the scene, Xiao Yong and Dustin Poirier appeared.

One is the top striker in the lightweight division, and the other is Xiao Yong, who has never tasted defeat since his career.

Everyone is looking forward to the collision of the two!

The domestic audience is still around 20 million.

The domestic commentator smiled: "You can see that Xiao Yong has already played, if Xiao Yong wins this match, then he can officially enter the top five positions in the lightweight rankings, becoming the highest ranking of Chinese people in the UFC so far!" ”

In the octagon, Xiao Yong looked at Dustin Poirier in front of him.

The eyes are extremely fierce.

Even at the press conference, Xiao Yong didn't say too aggressive words, but once he entered the iron cage, Xiao Yong had only one goal, and that was to defeat his opponent!

As the referee announced the start of the game, the two sides slowly approached the center of the iron cage!

Both sides are watching their opponents' moves!

Xiao Yong found that Dustin Powarier's back hand was obviously lower than the previous game video.

Obviously, this guy deliberately made adjustments, in order to be able to adjust his movements in time to prevent Xiao Yong from falling!

"Bang!"

Xiao Yong hit Dustin Puvarir with a jab.

This also officially started the fierce battle between the two sides!

Dustin Powarier took Xiao Yong's punch, retreated slightly, and didn't rush back to fight.

Instead, he continued to approach Xiao Yong cautiously.

"Bang bang!"

Both punched at the same time, and both hit their opponents!

Xiao Yong also has some judgment on the strength of the opponent, this guy's striking power is definitely not inferior to Michael Johnson, an absolute heavy gunner!

Suddenly, Xiao Yong was short, and he dived directly and fell!

But Dustin's movements were very fast, and he immediately retreated with his legs, his body pressed Xiao Yong, and at the same time, his arm passed under Xiao Yong's neck, directly strangled Xiao Yong's neck, and he was about to do a guillotine!

Xiao Yong rushed forward and hugged and fell! Dustin Povaril reacted quickly, Xiao Yong didn't catch the opponent, he was locked by the neck! Guillotine! Will Xiao Yong be able to break free? The narrator yelled excitedly.

In fact, without Xiao Yong's appearance, Dustin Puvarir would have faced Habib in the future.

Something similar would be done.

While challenging for Champion Habib, he tried several times to choke a guillotine lock while he was being taken down.

It did get results, especially in the last time, when he almost locked up Habib, and was called the man who came closest to ending Habib.

And now, in the face of Xiao Yong, who is excellent at wrestling, he has chosen the same tactic!

His two arms locked Xiao Yong's right arm and neck together!

This is not the ideal position for the guillotine!

In fact, the ideal position for a guillotine is simply to lock the neck!

In that case, by locking both arms and then pushing your body forward, you can quickly finish your opponent!

Basically no ability to resist!

But Xiao Yong will not give him this kind of opportunity, because rushing forward and falling and being dealt with by the opponent with a guillotine is a general tactic.

Not uncommon!

Therefore, a master like Xiao Yong will make sufficient preparations before holding and falling!

To put it simply, the arm should be as close to the neck as possible during the forward rush, rather than fully open.

So when Dustin Poirier went to lock Xiao Yong, he didn't just lock Xiao Yong's neck, but locked it in with his right arm.

I saw Xiao Yong's jaw tightened, and at the same time, his arm exerted force to try to break the opponent's arm.

The two sides are caught in a wrestling session!

Suffocate!

This is something Xiao Yong has never experienced in previous competitions!

Dustin Poirier used all his strength to try to forcibly lock Xiao Yong to death!

The two fell to the ground.

The hearts of the domestic audience were lifted.

This is the first time Xiao Yong has been locked by his neck.

Under the camera, Xiao Yong's face was flushed, his muscles were exposed, and his right hand tried his best to push the ground to support the space.

And the left hand is trying to open the gap for breathing!

Although he seems to be at a disadvantage, Xiao Yong is not panicked, this situation has been in the system space, when he was training with Kevin Lee.

This kind of action, if the opponent simply does a guillotine, he will not be able to lock him!

He's confident!

The other is to turn to Das Hang, in that case, Xiao Yong also has a way to deal with it!

Finally, Xiao Yong's excellent strength and endurance still prevailed, and he opened the gap little by little!

Suddenly pulled out his head! Dustin Poirier saw that he couldn't lock Xiao Yong, so he let go directly!

Get up quickly!

Prevent ground grappling with Xiao Yong!

Both sides are back on their feet!

Xiao Yong's eyes narrowed slightly, this guy has a very fast reaction speed, and he can use a guillotine to deal with a grappling, this is general knowledge, but not everyone can do it.

Because the top wrestlers are so fast that once they get close, they will put their necks on their opponents, and that's when that fleeting opportunity is gone!

But Dustin Poirier undoubtedly caught Xiao Yong's little flaw just now!

In this world, there is no such thing as a perfect move.

There is a way to deal with any move.

The corners of Xiao Yong's mouth opened and a smile of excitement appeared.

That's the opponent you want.

Very strong!

Dustin Poiril gasped, the fight between the two just now could be said to be extremely physically draining.

He tried his best to strangle Xiao Yong, but in the end he still didn't succeed.

This Chinese man is stronger than he imagined!

Xiao Yong approached his opponent again, and this time he didn't choose to take a takedown!

This opponent is different from the opponents we have encountered before.

If you want to hold and fall, you can't be so direct!

The opponent's level of resistance and countermeasures were outstanding.

If you fall directly, you will put yourself in a certain dangerous situation.

"Bang bang!"

The two sides began to fight on the feet!

This time, Xiao Yong's standing level was officially displayed in front of everyone.

I saw that in the face of Dustin Poirir, Xiao Yong did not fall behind at all, his steps were smart, and his front hand jab was fast and accurate!

And the distance control is extremely precise!

Even though Dustin Povarir was born as a boxer, in terms of boxing, the two of them fought for a while!

Suddenly, Xiao Yong punched out!

Hit Dustin Puwarir's hug and quickly move sideways with a high kick!

"Bang!"

This leg was so powerful that the defensive arm with diamonds smashed on his head!

Thanks to Dustin Poirir, the name of this diamond is not called for nothing, it is really hard enough.

Not to mention the heavy injury, the backhand was a heavy punch to Xiao Yong's face!

Xiao Yong At this time, his blood was boiling!

This is the top master!

This is the battle he wants!

Suddenly, Xiao Yong made a gesture and swung his fist, and Dustin Puvaril subconsciously flashed!

At this moment, Xiao Yong dived again and fell!

Dustin, who was swaying, didn't react at all this time, and was directly hugged by Xiao Yong on the waist!

This was followed by a heel hook!

Dustin Powarier didn't have any room to struggle, and was directly pressed to the ground!

Xiao Yong tried to finish the ride with his legs!

If he gets the mount, Xiao Yong has a good chance of finishing the race.

Dustin Puvarir also knew this very well, and while falling to the ground, his legs locked Xiao Yong's waist tightly, not giving him a chance to cross his legs!

Seeing that his legs couldn't pass, Xiao Yong straightened up, picked up his fist and smashed it at the diamond below!

"Bang bang bang!"

In this position, Dustin Poirier has no room to fight back at all, and can only protect his head with both arms!

Keep dodging!

But even so, he ate a lot of Xiao Yong's fists, this kind of heavy punch, every punch brought him great pain!

The audience cheered and shouted!

Xiao Yong was like a fierce beast, a pair of fists smashed down in a crazy rotation!

Finally, the bell rings for the end of the first round! Xiao Yong was a little unsatisfied, and Dustin Poirier breathed a sigh of relief!

Struggled to get up from the ground.

glanced at Xiao Yong with jealousy in his eyes, and returned to his corner.

Teams from both sides rushed in!

"Watch out for that guy's takedown!" Dustin Puwarier's coach yelled, "Somehow finish him on the feet!" ”

Dustin Poiril gasped and nodded.

But he didn't know the bottom in his heart, because judging from the fight just now, Xiao Yong's standing level was not weak!

And unlike him, Xiao Yong almost didn't have to guard against his hugging!

To put it bluntly, if Dustin Poirier really rushes over and falls, then it is not certain who will press whom to the ground!

On Xiao Yong's side, Zheng Tiequan didn't come.

The coaching team basically didn't have a tactical arrangement for him, just told him to stabilize his mentality, don't be too anxious, and don't give the opponent a chance.

Judging from the first round, Xiao Yong still has the advantage.

Xiao Yong stared at Dustin Povarier, his mind full of how to finish him!

Based on the first round, he didn't miss out on his feet, but he didn't land particularly effective heavy hits.

I took two takedowns, the first time I put myself in danger, and the second time I succeeded, although I didn't finish my legs because I was locked by the opponent's legs, but I hit a lot of heavy blows, but I didn't hit the part where I could knock out.

The opponent's ability to resist blows is also excellent.

In the next round, what should I do to smash this diamond?

Xiao Yong keeps thinking!

During the break, the audience also discussed.

Let's talk about China first, basically there is optimism.

"Haha, the bell saved him, or Xiao Yong won."

"Victory! Come on, Boss! ”

"Xiao Yong is invincible."

"This diamond can survive a round, and it's still a bit level."

"It's a pity that he escaped."

Xiao Yong had a complete upper hand in the last period!

The audience in the beautiful country has a different focus.

"This Xiao, the standing level is even more powerful than imagined, I just stood with Dustin, and the movements are so smooth!"

"This guy is really an all-round fighter, and he won't lose at all when he fights with Dustin Puvarier."

"Did you notice the look on your face when you smashed your fist at the end? It's really brutal! ”

"I love this crazy and vicious guy to death!"

"Come on, Dustin, kill this Huaxia guy!"

As the audience discussed, the game resumed!

In the iron cage, the two slowly approached, and Xiao Yong did not rush to hug and fall!

He had already suffered in the last round, and he wouldn't do that kind of particularly direct action again.

In the face of this kind of master, Xiao Yong knew very well that he could not expose his tactical intentions too much.

Both sides still start from standing!

But the pace is fast!

Because Xiao Yong is deliberately speeding up the pace!

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of fists hitting the flesh on both sides keeps coming!

Xiao Yong punches Dustin Powaril in the ribs with an uppercut!

Dustin Poirier immediately returned the favor with a punch in the face.

Standing attack, full of ornamentation.

In the middle of the attack, Xiao Yong suddenly punched again, and then rushed forward to hug and fall!

This time Dustin Poirier reacted quickly!

Both hands directly covered Xiao Yong's armpits!

didn't give Xiao Yong a chance to hug his waist and legs!

The two are entangled in each other!

"Xiao Yong threw another punch and shook it, and this time Dustin's reaction was quick and he prevented Xiao Yong!"

As soon as the commentator's voice fell, Xiao Yong suddenly exerted his strength!

The power of the rage, the top of Dustin Poirier was unstable, and he retreated again and again!

"Bang!"

Dustin Poirier felt as if he was facing a brute bull!

He was forced to be pushed by Xiao Yong to the side of the octagonal cage!

Immediately, Xiao Yong took advantage of the position on the edge of the iron cage to squeeze his body against his opponent and hooked his feet!

Dustin Poirier is once again hooked and out of balance!

was pressed down by Xiao Yong in the corner of the iron cage, but he locked Xiao Yong's arm.

At this time, he knew very well that as long as he controlled Xiao Yong's hands, he would not be beaten!

I saw Xiao Yong, who was pressing on Dustin Poirir's body, suddenly straighten his body, and then, quickly arched, drove his thigh with his body, and hit Dustin Poirir's stomach with his right knee!

"Bang!"

All of a sudden, Dustin Poirier felt a sharp pain hit him.

A spasm in the abdomen!

Thanks to his ability to resist hits, he can resist it!

But Xiao Yong, this is just the beginning!

This is followed by the repetition of the action!

"Bang bang bang!"

Three knees in a row! Dustin Poirier couldn't bear it after all, and just as Xiao Yong straightened up again, ready to kneel, he suddenly let go of Xiao Yong's hand and quickly hugged Xiao Yong's body.

He knew very well that in this case, it was impossible to escape from Xiao Yong's control.

Instead, he wants to control Xiao Yong!

Try to take the back!

Although his ground skills are not at the level of a master, they are there!

If you get the back, it's not like you don't have a chance to finish the opponent.

How could Xiao Yong give him a chance!

You know, once you get caught on your back, you will suffer a big loss!

Xiao Yong immediately twisted his body, and at the same time used his hands to control the opponent's arms!

Use your legs to control your opponent's legs and don't give them a chance to take their backs!

Dustin Poirier is like being entangled in a python, but fortunately, this guy has done a good job of anti-fall and ground-based escape targeted training.

The two of them continued to struggle, but they were never held by Xiao Yong!

Watch the minutes tick by.

In the struggle, Dustin Puvarir was still seized by Xiao Yong!

I saw that Xiao Yong suddenly loosened his control over his legs and arms, moved sideways quickly, and grabbed his back position, and at the same time locked his legs around Dustin Poirir's waist, and then Xiao Yong's arm passed through Dustin Poirir's neck!

Naked Twisting!

Xiao Yong is going to do a naked choke!

Dustin Poirier had this thought in his heart and immediately locked his neck!

Don't give Xiao Yong a chance to put his arm close to his throat!

But after feeling his movements, Xiao Yong put a hand directly on his face, hugged his face and moved it hard!

Forcibly remove the gap in his neck!

The arm is also strangled in!

Feeling Xiao Yong's arm close to his neck, Dustin Poirier was taken aback!

Quickly grabbed Xiao Yong's arm around the neck with both hands, and at the same time exerted force, forcing it away again, not giving Xiao Yong a chance to complete the action!

Seeing that he couldn't lock him, Xiao Yong changed his tactics again, and directly picked up his fist from his back position to hit Dustin Puwarir's side face!

Here's why it's a big advantage to take the back.

As long as you get your opponent's back and lock your opponent's waist with your feet, then you have two options, one is to do a rear-naked choke!

If the action is completed, the opponent will lose the game outright!

The other is to hit the opponent in the face with his fist, and at this time, the player who is taken on the back will not be able to return the phone.

Because it is impossible for the arm to hit the person behind it, and even if it is barely hit, it has no strength at all.

And the player in the back, punching the front player in the face, although the effect is not too good, but the strength must be much more sufficient, and no one can eat this kind of fist infinitely!

Bang bang bang!

Dustin Poirier gets a few punches.

Fortunately, it was very close to the Circle Wall at this point.

He put his face on the iron cage, and with the help of the iron cage, he struggled to stand up!

I have to say that this guy's response, if there is even the slightest mistake, the game may be over.

Dustin Poirier leaned against the iron cage, turned his body, put one side of his body under the cover of the edge of the iron cage, and after eating a few more punches, he controlled one of Xiao Yong's arms with his right hand!

The game entered a stalemate.

Xiao Yong will also have a hard time making effective attacks and submissions!

Just after the two grinded for a while, the bell rang for round two.

The two are separated again!

Each returns to the corner.

At this time, Xiao Yong was also panting.

This kind of grappling is very physically demanding.

The opponent's fall and finish defense is even better than he imagined.

Although they had the advantage in both rounds, they failed to take down their opponents.

However, the small points in these two rounds must be Xiao Yong's advantage.

This match is five rounds because it is the main event.

The coaching staff remains optimistic.

"Keep it, when the opponent always makes a mistake, a mistake, he will lose, and just like that, it will be us who wins!"

Xiao Yong nodded.

On the other hand, Diamond's coach is also cheering him on.

"Very well behaved! Look for your opponent's flaws on the feet as much as possible, and also seize the moment of his takedown and finish him with a guillotine, don't be afraid! His fitness has also dropped a lot, and his takedown speed will definitely slow down in the next round! There's definitely a chance! ”
