Chapter 492, not exciting, but strong
Approaching Christmas, the streets of Denver are brightly lit, beautifully decorated, bustling with people, and cheerful music, making people feel a strong holiday atmosphere.
However, Lu Bu is not interested in these foreign festivals, at most he spends Valentine's Day with Yu Feihong and them.
Weighing is in the evening, and there is still quite a long time.
Because it is not only Yu Feihong, Gao Yuanyuan, Hu Jing, Jia Jingwen, Kim Hee-sun and Song Hye Kyo, who are far away in South Korea, Zhang Guirong, Xia Yu, Hu Jiao, Tong Yaya, Liu Shishi, Tang Tang and other fierce general media artists who are not entangled in work are here, Liu Yifei, Yu Bo, Ren Yang and other friends are here.
Adding up to nearly 20 people, a group of people went to visit some attractions in Denver, such as the Colorado State Capitol, the Denver Art Museum, etc., and went to taste Denver's food, such as roast turkey, Christmas candy, etc., and played until the afternoon before returning to the hotel.
Lu Bu rested in the room for a while, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he set off to the competition venue to weigh him.
His opponent this time is Daniel, the strength is really good, American mixed martial artist, former Olympic wrestler, participated in the 2000 Olympic Games, withdrew from the 2004 Olympics due to kidney failure caused by excessive weight loss, and later served as the captain of the American wrestling team, contacted MMA in 2006, won the KOTC championship, XMMA championship, Strikeforce heavyweight GP championship in his career, and joined the UFC heavyweight squad with a 7-game winning streak in the middle of last year, but because of weight loss, Competed in the middleweight, welterweight, and light heavyweight divisions.
With a height of 182cm and an arm span of 184cm, he is nicknamed "Black Cannon", "black" refers to skin color, he is black; "Cannon" has two meanings, one refers to strong strength, and his punches have the lethality of cannonballs, and the other is to refer to the mouth cannon, and he is one of the top three trash talk fighters in the UFC today.
On the day he confirmed that his opponent was Lu Bu, he made a lot of nonsense on social media, such as "Everyone knows that I will blow you up in the game, the first time you have met an opponent as good as me." "You don't know what the UFC means, I'll prove that you're a little boy who hasn't been weaned, and I'll make you surrender in the fight." "I want you to know that Chinese kung fu is rubbish. ”。
In short, it drove fans to ridicule Lu Bu in an all-round way.
At the same time, there is also the heat, coupled with the UFC Christmas Eve fight, Chinese kung fu, and well-known Chinese stars, which make this match gain unprecedented attention.
American netizens:
"I adore Bruce Lee and love Jackie Chan, but they're both actors, and mixed martial arts has to be up to us!"
"I heard that this Lu Bu is an actor, so he should go to WWA, and come to the UFC purely to find death."
"It's good to have a popcorn-level game and add a little fun to a cold Christmas Eve."
……
Chinese netizens:
"Laughing to death, is it really just an actor to be the second brother? If you don't beat him to the point where the peach blossoms bloom, he doesn't know why the flowers are so red! ”
"How arrogant before the game, how embarrassed after the game, take a good look at who is the fish on the chopping board."
"In terms of status in the film industry, the second brother may not be as good as Li Xiaolong and Chenglang, but compared to the actual battle, the second brother is standing on the top of Mount Everest."
……
The public said that the public is reasonable, and the mother said that the mother is reasonable, what is the matter, see the real chapter in the octagonal cage.
UFC President Dana White is happy to see such a situation, commercial competitions, no heat, no attention, how to make money?
I agreed to Lu Bu's participation in the competition for this effect.

——————
In the evening, McNichols Coliseum in Denver.
At the press conference, Daniel faced the media and the camera, and once again talked all kinds of trash to Lu Bubiao.
Lu Bu listened to it, but they were all innocuous words, and they didn't have any impact on his mentality.
And he is not a soft persimmon, let people pinch at will.
I saw that when Daniel was becoming more and more arrogant, he opened his mouth and said in the most bland tone: "I will eat you, and Jesus will not be able to keep it, I said it!" ”
When the scene was on, the scene fell silent.
Because of the Mandarin spoken by Lu Bu, they couldn't understand it.
When the translator translated, Daniel immediately broke out, if it weren't for the agent, coach and security guard next to him, they all rushed up to do Lu Bu, and I don't know if it was doing the effect of the show.
And the reporters of various media showed surprised and playful expressions on their faces, and this strong smell of gunpowder was exactly what they wanted.
Lu Bu maintained a smile that was not worth his life as always, and this calmness was really amazing.
After weighing, he is still the lowest line of 80kg, Daniel is the highest line of 84kg, from the physical data, his height and arm span are superior, Daniel's weight is superior, Daniel is bigger, he belongs to the well-proportioned type, but these are just for reference.
When he returned to the hotel, everyone knew what was going on and didn't bother him.
After a night's rest, I went out for a run early the next morning to adjust my body functions to the best state.
At noon, Marokov arrived.
He was invited by Lu Bu to play a cameo role as a coach.
As soon as he came, he talked to Lu Bu about Daniel's strong points, weak points, offensive ideas, KO methods, etc., which was quite competent.
"With your strength, as long as you don't make huge mistakes, Daniel is no match for you at all." Marokov knew that Lu Bu was powerful, and even felt that no one could resist it with all his might.
"The information you provide is also very important and can be of considerable help to me." Lu Bu was as steady as Mount Tai and did not show too arrogant and arrogant.
"Waiting to see your wonderful performance!" Marokov looked forward to the road.
"Wonderful?" Lu Bu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said meaningfully: "Maybe." ”
In the afternoon, the Christmas atmosphere on the street is getting stronger and stronger, and Christmas trees, Santa Claus, and Christmas lights can be seen everywhere.
McNichols' Stadium in Denver has also been carefully decorated inside and out, giving it a festive atmosphere.
Because it coincides with Christmas in Europe and the United States, the price of tickets for this event has skyrocketed, and tickets are hard to find, and mixed martial arts fans are scrambling to grab tickets, and 19,000 tickets were sold out as soon as they went on sale.
Of course, this is not surprising at all, the UFC has always been very popular in the United States, second only to the NBA, NCAA, baseball and other events, and Nikkor is a well-known figure in American sports, with a large number of fans.
In the audience, the ratio of Chinese audiences to foreign audiences is about 55 percent, and there are many Chinese in the United States, and some of them come from China.
In the VIP area, in addition to Yu Feihong and other Chinese stars, there are also many European and American stars, such as actors Keanu Reeves, Mark Wahlberg, Jason Statham...... And so on, directors David Leitch, Rob Cohen, Quentin Tarantino...... And so on, the reason why they came is partly because they like mixed martial arts, and partly because they like Chinese kung fu.
"I heard that Oba's opponent today is particularly capable of fighting, and several of them have been sent to the hospital." Song Hye Kyo whispered.
"No matter how much you can beat, you can't beat Oba, and you don't know how powerful Oba is." Kim Hee-sun dismisses the way.
Speaking of Lu Bu's "awesomeness", of course Song Hye Kyo knows, but after all, this is the main event of the UFC, which is another matter, and no one can win the game without a little injury.
"Don't worry, Oba will be fine, this is a man's sport, even if you get a little injured, there will be no big problems." Kim Hee-sun gently hugged her and comforted her.
"yes, I see." Song Hye Kyo nodded.
In comparison, Yu Feihong and the others were much better, because Lu Bu had talked to them about this matter, which raised their confidence and reduced their nervousness, even if they were still worried, they were not as much as before, and they were talking and laughing at the moment.
"This guy is so blind, look at how Abu cleans him up in a while!" Jia Jingwen watched the video of the official weighing, and Daniel's trash talk was really infuriating.
"Commercial competitions always need topics to attract people's attention, and mouth cannons are a good character design, using the simplest way to stir up the heat." Yu Feihong has been to understand that the trash talk link is sincere and false.
"Whether it's true or not, anyway, Abu's sentence 'I'm going to eat you, Jesus can't keep it, I said' The response is super good, and the man's face is darker than carbon." Gao Yuanyuan covered his mouth and smiled.
"Abu is a man of action, he doesn't engage in pointless verbal battles, he only speaks with strength." Hu Jing raised her chin and said.
In the center of the arena, on the edge of the octagon.
"How do you go and coach a rookie who doesn't have a chance of winning?" It was Daniel's coach who spoke to Marokov, and the two had known each other for a long time.
"No odds? Rookie? Marokov smiled and said, "After so many years, your vision is still so bad." ”
"No matter how bad it is, I have brought out two fighters who have won championship belts, unlike some people who retire with regrets." Not to be outdone, Daniel's coach replied.
"You can't hit me." Marokov's face did not change, and he said, "We'll see later." ”
As he spoke, the lights in the stadium dimmed, and a beam of chasing light hit the left exit.
When the dynamic music sounded, Daniel appeared on the stage with the steps of six relatives who did not recognize him, which was very commotionous.
The host gave an enthusiastic introduction, and the foreign audience at the scene let out enthusiastic screams and cheers.
By the time the referee had finished his check, Daniel gave a flying kiss to the audience and entered the Octagon.
At this time, a beam of chasing light hits the right exit.
"Proud and arrogant
Warm blood is better than red sunshine
The courage is like iron, and the bones are like steel
Thousands of minds and long visions
Vow to work hard for self-improvement
Do a good job ...... Han"
Lu Bu's appearance BGM is the familiar song "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", iron-clad and heroic.
In an instant, the atmosphere was mobilized, and the Chinese audience at the scene sang along with the chorus.
It's a rare scene in the UFC arena.
Listening to everyone's singing, Lu Bu's calm heart suddenly became hot, his fists were itchy, and he immediately took off his robe, the referee checked it, and entered the octagon cage.
Daniel saw that Lu Bu's popularity was not inferior to himself, and even surpassed himself a little, and his displeasure was written on his face.
After a short warm-up, the first round began.
Lu Bu directly used Li Xiaolong's jump, and looked directly at Daniel, looking for a great opportunity.
Suddenly, Daniel actually put his hand behind his back, and the middle door was wide open, revealing all the flaws, in order to provoke Lu Bu.
“WU~”
“Daniel! Daniel! Daniel! ”
“hahaha!”
……
"! It's so infuriating! ”
"Don't pull me, I'm going to him!"
"Second brother, don't release water!"
……
To be honest, Lu Bu was stunned by Daniel's operation, and wondered if there was something wrong with his brain.
After two seconds of snorting, Daniel took an offensive stance, then put his back hand behind his back and shook his body, as if he was enjoying himself.
As the saying goes, there are only three things, but where does Daniel understand this, he is having a good time, and he is ready to come again, because he doesn't take Lu Bu seriously at all, thinking that even if Lu Bu takes the opportunity to attack, he can handle it.
Lu Bu would definitely not get used to him, and he no longer used the strategy of playing the White Dana Challenge, and launched an attack at the moment when he turned his back for the third time.
In fact, Daniel guessed it, but he wanted to continue to pretend to be forced, so he didn't choose to dodge, he wanted to take it head-on, and let Lu Bu see how strong the UFC fighters' ability to resist strikes is.
Tai Chi fast boxing, abdominal ......
Boxing hook box, chest ......
Jeet Kune Do Spin Kick, Head ......
As soon as the three moves came out, only to hear a "bang", Daniel fell to the ground in response.
The originally noisy scene was suddenly terrifyingly quiet, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the octagonal cage.
What's the situation?
What happened?
Why did you fall to the ground?
Just when countless questions arose in everyone's minds, the referee checked Daniel's condition, then called the emergency doctor, and then announced that Lu Bu had won!
Win!
KO!
Less than half a minute has passed since the first round!
After a brief silence, the Chinese audience immediately erupted in thunderous applause to express their appreciation for their idols.
Soon, foreign viewers joined one after another, but most of them still looked puzzled, and kept popping out "What" in their mouths, not seeing how Daniel was knocked out, and not understanding how Lu Bu won.
One thing is certain, though, that Lu Bu is stronger than Daniel.
This fact is clearly in front of them, so the foreign audience clapped their hands in unison regardless of the process.
At this moment, the McNichols Arena in Denver resounded with one of the warmest applauses of the entire night.
Lu Bu reproduced the classic move, climbed to the top of the octagonal cage and waved to the audience to thank him.
Quickly resolving the battle was something he had planned a long time ago, and he had already signed a contract for the main match, so there was no need to delay the fight to look better.
Moreover, all the three moves he made just now were on the acupuncture points, and when Daniel woke up, he still had to be offended.
After a while, Lu Bu was gone.
All the audience gradually calmed down, and after thinking about it in their hearts, they felt more and more wrong, this "Christmas Eve War" that had been rendered for a long time, they watched it, as if they hadn't watched it again.
Isn't it exciting? It's wonderful to say it's wonderful, and it's not wonderful to say it's not exciting.
In various mixed martial arts competitions, there have been knockouts, but not so fast and easy.
At this moment, Bai Dana's face was blue and red, and he felt that he was being placed by Lu Bu.
It's hard to say whether this fight will bring heat and buzz to the UFC.
But the master is also what the UFC needs.
