Chapter 245: Call Bone Jones Back
The match between Xiao Yong and Pereira is over.
He was only suspended for seven days.
In other words, Xiao Yong can smoothly defend his final title defense in the middleweight division.
As for the rematch with Adesaya, Xiao Yong is not going to accept it.
The main thing is that he doesn't have a very good sense of Adesanya either.
If you don't like it, you won't fight!
In just ten days, continuous dehydration and weight loss are undoubtedly a great pressure on Xiao Yong's body and mind.
Every pre-race dehydration is a hellish experience.
In the hotel, Xiao Yong was steaming in the sauna, and Zheng Tiequan was guarding by the side.
"Now, I'm really eager to move up to the heavyweight division again, and I don't have to accept this damn weight loss anymore." Xiao Yong felt the continuous flow of water in his body and said this.
Zheng Tiequan looked at Xiao Yong, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "When do you plan to retire?" β
"Retired?"
A trace of confusion flashed in Xiao Yong's eyes.
"If you win the heavyweight title, I would advise you to retire, you're too tired all these years." Zheng Tiequan sighed and said: "Your current assets can't be spent in ten lifetimes, you have created the history of Huaxia, and when you become a heavyweight champion, your honor is unprecedented, since this is the case, why do you want to fight?" β
Xiao Yong did not answer.
He never thought about retirement.
For him, this was the peak of his career.
At the age of 27, Xiao Yong's physical fitness is completely at its peak, and at this pace, even if he reaches the heavyweight, Xiao Yong will need more than a year or two at most.
At that time, he was less than 30 years old.
And with the help of the system, Xiao Yong can maintain his peak state for a longer time.
But in Zheng Tiequan's opinion, Xiao Yong has been really tired all these years.
As a top fighter, Xiao Yong's frequency of fights is very efficient, maintaining two to three fights a year, and this time he has beaten Adesaya, Pereira, and Whitaker in two months.
Xiao Yong thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Coach, we have known each other for eight years in a blink of an eye, to be honest, these years are indeed quite tiring, but I still like the feeling of the game." I'm talking about getting rid of honor, money, just a simple game, maybe that's love. If one day, I can't fight with the rest of the masters in this world, it's actually quite painful to think about it. β
Yes, Xiao Yong made a decision.
"It's almost time, go out and check the weight!"
Xiao Yong got up and rushed out of the sauna.
Zheng Tiequan watched Xiao Yong leave and muttered, "Yes, this may be love." β
There are many people who work one thing or one job all their lives, and perhaps in the eyes of others, it is a very boring or painful thing.
But if you really like it, then you will naturally enjoy it.
At least Xiao Yong's love for fighting is very pure, and this will not change because he has more money and less money.
He loves the feeling of being in the ring.
You can also feel disappointed because your opponent is not strong enough, and that's him.
The venue for the game against Whitaker is still Las Vegas.
Even though two Xiao Yong matches were held in ten days, the tickets were still sold out.
From the very beginning of the match, the crowd began chanting Xiao Yong's name, including in the intervals of each match.
Xiao Yong's strength has made him the most popular martial artist in the world.
It also gave him a huge number of fans.
The charm of this kind of strong man, just like a series of great superstars, Jordan, Schumacher, Ronaldo, Messi, Tyson and other strong men, has conquered many people of different skin colors and different countries.
These people are looking forward to Xiao Yong continuing to make history and witnessing the rise of legends.
In the last game, Whitaker took the lead, followed by Xiao Yong.
When Xiao Yong walked out of the tunnel of the players, screams and shouts filled the entire stadium.
Now Xiao Yong is the king of the entire UFC.
A well-deserved king!
Xiao Yong entered the octagon.
Facing Whitaker, Xiao Yong didn't say much.
Whitaker is more well-rounded than Adesanya and Pereira, but his takedown ability is limited, and in the match with Adesaya, many attempts at takedowns failed to drag Adesanya to the canvas.
The striking technique is also not refined enough.
Overall, he is a first-line fighter, but if he talks about fighting Xiao Yong, it is a bit insufficient.
In this game, everyone, media reporters, audience hosts, including bookmakers, are all optimistic about Xiao Yong.
No one thought Whitaker could win.
Everyone just came to witness Xiao Yong's victory.
Of course, it's not that there is no suspense at all, after all, Xiao Yong played two games in ten days.
Whether the continuous short period of dehydration will affect Xiao Yong is the only suspense in this game.
The game is about to start, and Smith, a beautiful commentator, smiled: "This match, I think Xiao Yong will win easily, although the opponent of the game is very strong, but we have to know that he is facing Xiao, the strongest and most comprehensive fighter in UFC history, I think, as long as Xiao Yong can maintain 80% of the state, there will be no suspense!" β
Now Xiao Yong has a variety of titles.
The most technically versatile fighter in UFC history, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is, after all, he is the only triple crown winner!
In the middle of the field, with the announcement of the referee, the game began.
Xiao Yong looked very relaxed and pressed forward slowly!
The moment Xiao Yong approached Whitaker, Whitaker smashed over with a punch.
It's just that before his fist hit Xiao Yong, he had already received a punch in the face!
"Bang!"
Xiao Yong hit him first!
"Wow, accurate jab volley, Xiao Yong hit beautifully!"
Compared with the advantage of Adesanya and Pereira's physical talent, Whitaker is 183 tall, but his arm span is only 187, that is, his arm span is shorter than Xiao Yong's, so Xiao Yong can easily hit him first!
One punch hit, and Xiao Yong was not in a hurry.
The two started a pure stand-up fight!
"Oh! Xiao Yong's flat hook hit Whitaker! But Whitaker's ability to resist striking is very good, and it doesn't seem to be a big problem. β
"Whitaker got another punch, will he be able to hold out for a round? Adesaya and Pereira together didn't hold out for a single round. β
On the scene, everyone could see that there was a big gap between the two.
Whitaker and Xiao Yong remained relatively close at all times, and neither side attempted a takedown.
Pure standing, but it is difficult for Whitaker to inflict any effective blow on Xiao Yong!
"Whitaker High Kick! Oops, I was guarded by Xiao Yong! β
"I feel like Whitaker can't deal an effective blow, no, Whitaker took another punch, and the corners of his eyes were opened!"
In just one and a half minutes, Whitaker was beaten by Xiao Yong and saw blood!
Whitaker was trying to deal with Xiao Yong as much as he could.
Either way, in the octagon, no one thinks they're going to lose.
Even if the outside world is not optimistic about Whitaker, he is still trying to defeat Xiao Yong!
As for Xiao Yong, although he played easily on the scene, he himself did not relax at all.
Keep an eye on Whitaker and watch him move.
Finally, at three minutes and fifty-four seconds into the first round, Xiao Yong suddenly kicked up and directly hit Whitaker in the chin!
"Boom!"
With one foot down, Whitaker fell to the ground with a thud.
There was no struggle.
Direct KO!
"It's too strong, the strength that Xiao Yong shows now is really too strong, his standing ability, holding and falling ability, and ground ability are all top, I really doubt who can stop him! If he can really fight in the heavyweight division and win on a winning streak, then he's the UFC's GOTA, and no one will ever be able to surpass him! β
Smith couldn't help but sigh.
This is the feeling that Xiao Yong has given people recently.
is really strong, the three opponents he faced in the middleweight division, Xiao Yong won all in one round!
You know, even if the competitive pressure in the middleweight division is not as great as that in the lightweight and welterweight divisions, these people are also the top fighters in the middleweight division.
But even so, he was still defeated by Xiao Yong in all rounds.
It can be seen that Xiao Yong is tough.
In the octagonal cage, Ba Fo looked at Xiao Yong and said with a smile: "Xiao, if nothing else, you will enter the light heavyweight division, is that so?" β
"Of course, I said that I would conquer five levels!"
"So who's your most anticipated opponent in the light heavyweight division?"
"Bone Jones, of course!" Saying this name, the scene cheered, Xiao Yong pulled the microphone, looked at the camera, and said in a deep voice: "Listen, Jones, I don't care what contradictions you have between you and Dana White, it's better to get him quickly, I will leave you a chance to fight, but this opportunity is only when I am still in the light heavyweight division!" β
Jones, currently 33 years old, has a 26-1 professional record with no results, but he has never been defeated in theory, with one defeat being a loss for an illegal elbow in a huge advantage, and the other being a drug test failure after a high leg knock on Cormier.
This guy is the undisputed king of light heavyweights.
I have also had some verbal exchanges with Xiao Yong many times before.
But because he didn't hide the appearance fee that Dana Bai gave him, he gave up the light heavyweight championship belt!
There is no way, he thinks that he is no worse than Xiao Yong Connor, but his appearance fee does not meet the psychological expectations he wants.
So he voluntarily gave up the light heavyweight championship belt and left the UFC!
In Xiao Yong's opinion, the strongest in the light heavyweight division is undoubtedly this one.
So instead of calling the current champion, he called Bone Jones.
Bafo smiled: "Haha, if you can have a big fight with Jones, it will indeed be a match that everyone can look forward to, but there are also many strong players in the active light heavyweight division, you should also be careful!" β
"Haha, in this world, I will be careful when I compete with anyone, I am not the kind of arrogant person, I will never look down on my opponent!"
When Xiao Yong said this, the audience's barrage had already begun to go crazy!
"Does he believe that?"
"It only takes a minute to beat an opponent in one round, and I'm going to win five divisions, that's what he said, right? Is this still called arrogance? β
"What Xiao Yong said has come true, and telling the truth is also called arrogance?"
"Hehe, yes, we're not arrogant, let's be honest, what Xiao Yong means: None of the light heavyweights here can fight! Go and get your boss back! Am I right? β
"That's right, that's what it means!"
The match was over, Xiao Yong scored another victory, and after the game, he announced that he was about to move up!
Of course, Xiao Yong's words aroused the unconcealment of a group of light heavyweight masters!
First up is the current champion, Prohaska.
He immediately posted on social media: "Xiao Yong lacks a basic understanding of the fighter, he has no idea how strong I am, and when he comes to light heavyweight, he will lose all his honors!" β
Teixeira, who followed him, also said: "I will defeat Xiao Yong, defend the glory of samba fighting, and avenge Pereira, I will not lose to him!" β
Teixeira is also Pereira's coach and teammate.
So for Xiao Yong, he is still very much looking forward to it.
Unlike Pereira, he has excellent ground skills.
And Brachowic, who defeated Adesanya in the Adesanya Weight Challenge, also said.
"I won against Adesaya, Xiao Yong should know my strength, we both beat that guy, I think we can win or lose!"
Arguably, these are the three strongest men in the light heavyweight division right now.
Among them, BlaΔovich is ranked the lowest, and he is actually very worried, after all, according to Xiao Yong's usual urine nature, he will only play three players, and if Xiao Yong leaves one of the positions to Bone Jones, then he will have no chance to play.
So his words were relatively mild.
Because everyone knows very well that as long as they can compete with Xiao Yong, they can get a large amount of appearance fee, which is something that most players have no way to refuse.
After all, not everyone makes money as easily as Xiao Yong.
The average fighter costs hundreds of thousands of dollars per fight. But playing against Xiao Yong often costs millions of dollars in appearance fees.
The gap is just too big.
When these people expressed their opinions on Xiao Yong's remarks.
Pereira has already met Yang Lele.
He didn't expect that the Tenglong Jue mentioned by Xiao Yong was actually founded by a woman.
Pereira also played in Huaxia's competitions, but since he left Huaxia, he has not paid much attention to Huaxia's competitions!
However, he is not resistant to participating in the Dragon Showdown!
As long as there is money to take, as long as the opponent is Xiao Yong, who the organizer is, Pereira doesn't care!
Yang Lele looked at Pereira and said, "In this game, I can give you three million dollars in appearance fees, which is the highest price I can give you." β
You know, Pereira's worth in normal times is not even a million dollars.
This time he was able to fight Xiao Yong, he only got a value of three million in the UFC, and Yang Lele naturally wouldn't give him too much!
It's still the same standard!
When Pereira heard the offer, he didn't say much, but he was quite satisfied.
That's far more than his usual appearance fee, and he also knows that kickboxing has little market in Europe and the United States.
So he didn't think about PPV sharing at all, in fact, his last match with Xiao Yong didn't have a PPV share in the UFC.
If he didn't win the championship, it would be impossible for him to get a score at all!
Pereira's concern is more about the game: "Where is this game held?" β
"Abu Zabi!"
In this competition, since you want to make money, you naturally have to go to a rich place!
The big dog family has money!
