October 24th.

The UFC held a pre-fight press conference for Zhao Yan and Mogan Rhodes.

Both weighed well below the weight class norms, so the weighing ceremony was completely unnecessary.

In order to build momentum for the two and increase attention, the UFC specially held a press conference for the two.

Regarding this fight between the two, the UFC officially announced it ten days ago, and then began to build crazy momentum!

The cheapest ticket price for this battle has been speculated to $1,500, and the most expensive has even exceeded $100,000!

The top media described the match between the two as 'epoch-making', as no one had ever been able to cross weight classes and win so easily.

"A new era of martial arts will be ushered in by the two of them!"

"A contest of the highest fighting techniques between the East and the West!"

"Sacred Heart Fist VS Kung Fu Dragon!"

The media used such propaganda slogans to build momentum for the battle between the two.

In fact, in the field of sports events, the popularity of mixed martial arts is far less than that of big sports such as football and basketball.

Even in the field of martial arts, boxing is far more popular and influential than mixed martial arts.

The fame and income of a well-known boxing champion can be several times that of a UFC champion!

However, with the two of Zhao Yan and Mogan Rhodes playing incredible matches in a row during this time, the popularity of mixed martial arts has finally reached an unprecedented peak!

In Dragon Country, the top three hot searches on Weibo have been related to this game for several consecutive days.

"The battle of the strongest warriors on the surface!"

At today's pre-match press conference between Zhao Yan and Mogan Rhodes, the first hot search on Weibo became this.

Because of the many restrictions on the rules of boxing, kickboxing, sanda, wrestling, etc., mixed martial arts has always been regarded as the closest to actual combat combat fights, and mixed martial arts fighters are regarded as the most capable of fighting.

As the highest level of mixed martial arts, the UFC's heavyweight champion is also known as the 'strongest fighter of 7 billion people' and 'the strongest fighter on the surface'!

The UFC heavyweight champion is in some ways considered the most combative man on the planet!

Now Zhao Yan wants to compete with Mogan Rhodes for the UFC heavyweight title, which can also be seen as a 'battle for the strongest fighters on the surface'.

Under the joint propaganda of the two great powers, the Dragon Kingdom and the Jianguo Kingdom, Zhao Yan's [Path of Glory] has met the requirements of 10 million in advance, and now it has become [26754487/10000000]!

Because the month has not yet ended, [Path of Glory] is still counting the number of people.

Zhao Yan speculated that the more people he overfulfilled in the end, the more benefits he would get!

At the pre-match press conference, hundreds of reporters gathered, and the president of the UFC sat in the center, with Zhao Yan and Mogan Rhodes on the left and right.

After the president finished speaking, it was the reporter's turn to ask questions.

"Can you each talk about your thoughts on tomorrow's game?"

A reporter got up and questioned Zhao Yan and Mogan Rhodes at the same time.

Mogan Rhodes turned his head to look at Zhao Yan and gestured to Zhao Yan to speak first.

Zhao Yan turned on the microphone in front of him and said in Chinese:

"I'm going to win the championship."

With that, he turned off the microphone.

The translator standing by translated the sentence for him.

When it was Mogan Rhodes' turn to speak, he smiled slightly:

"I will let everyone know that the Sacred Heart Flow is the strongest martial arts in the world!"

The words fell, and the audience burst into applause.

It's at home, after all.

"Zhao Yan, the Huaxia Kung Fu you used has not achieved results in any martial arts events before, so can I understand that it is only you who is powerful, not Huaxia Kung Fu?"

The second reporter stood up to ask Zhao Yan a question.

The interpreter on the side translated his words.

After Zhao Yan heard this, his expression remained unchanged:

"There are two kinds of Chinese kung fu, one is used in actual combat and the other is used in the ring. The kung fu used in the ring is called sanda, and our people have also used sanda to achieve good results in the UFC in the past, and even won championships, so you are wrong. Secondly, there are also many champions in the UFC, including their Marines, who have specialized in Chinese kung fu used in actual combat, such as Wing Chun. If Huaxia's kung fu is not good, why should these people learn it? Finally, you can ask the gentleman next to you, does the Sacred Heart Flow he learned also borrow from Chinese Kung Fu? (Note 1)

The translator translated Zhao Yan's words aloud word for word, causing a commotion at the scene.

"Mogan, is what Zhao Yan said true?"

Immediately, a reporter asked Mogan Rhodes.

"That's right, the Sacred Heart Flow does borrow some Chinese kung fu."

Mogan admitted it dryly, and then he sneered, "But no technology in the world is the most original. For example, gunpowder was invented by the Dragon Kingdom, but it is our Western countries that carry it forward. ”

These words once again won applause from the audience.

In this regard, Zhao Yan's response is also very simple:

"Tomorrow I will let you know that your Sacred Heart is not yet at home, and you still have to practice."

At this point, the scene finally has a hint of gunpowder.

Next, the reporters continued to deliberately stir up trouble, but neither Zhao Yan nor Mogan Rhodes were interested in speaking quickly, and the two preferred to 'write' their own answers in the ring!

So the press conference didn't last long before it ended.

Soon, Zhao Yan's answer to the question about Huaxia Kung Fu and his response to Mogan Rhodes were cut into a video and sent back to the Dragon Kingdom.

This interview video quickly became the second most searched search!

Naturally, there was a lot of applause in China, and [Road to Glory] also rose by more than one million people because of this video!

October 25th.

The Dragon Country CCTV Sports Channel will broadcast this UFC match live, and there will also be simultaneous live broadcasts on several major online platforms.

Before the start of the competition, a large number of viewers poured into the major live broadcast rooms, the least of which was more than 300,000 people, and the largest of which had exceeded one million!

In the country of Jianguo, UFC fights have always been paid live TV shows, so the popularity and influence of this fight can be seen from the number of people who pay for each fight.

In tonight's UFC episode, more than 3 million paid users pre-booked!

When the tournament began, the number of payers exceeded the 5 million mark!

Before tonight, the UFC's highest payout was 4.6 million, a record that has stood for five years.

At the competition site, countless celebrities gathered.

Basketball stars, football stars, rugby stars, singers, actors. As for the stars of the fighting world, almost all of them are there!

There are seven matches tonight, and three of the first six were championship challenges.

Obviously, the UFC knows how to take advantage of the situation.

After a diva-level singer from the top country sang live and pulled up the atmosphere, the competition officially began.

Pairs of players take turns playing.

It must be said that the quality of the fights arranged by the UFC tonight is very high, and the fighters also showed a very high level of competition.

If it had been placed in the past, it would have been enough to ignite the audience and make the audience addicted!

However, with Zhao Yan and Mogan Rhodes in front of them, these matches are a bit 'bleak' at this time.

People are looking forward to the final battle.

One, two, three. Until the end of the sixth game.

When the president of the UFC stepped into the ring, everyone cheered up.

"Damn, I'm starting to get nervous."

Lu Yuan, who was sitting in the front row, changed his previous calm and calmness, and couldn't help but burst into a foul language.

Nie Shouren sat next to him, and he originally planned to get a seat for Han Dianguo, but Han Dianguo refused, and the other party was unwilling to show up in such a public occasion.

"Me too."

Nie Shouren took a breath and said slowly.

His biggest dream is to promote the national arts, and if Zhao Yan can win against Mogan Rhodes tonight, it will almost be half of his dream realized!

It's going to be a perfect start.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this next game is a battle of the century!"

In the ring, the president of the UFC said with a microphone.

"I think everybody is looking forward to this fight, just like me. Each side of the contest represents the highest level of Eastern and Western martial arts, and tonight they will decide who is the best fighter on the surface! ”

"First of all, please, the dragon of kung fu from Huaxia - Zhao Yan!!!"

In the warm applause and cheers, Zhao Yan walked out of the athletes' passage, and Coach Sun followed behind him, his face a little pale.

In fact, Coach Sun has proposed that he should watch this game below, anyway, he can't play a role on the field as a coach.

But Zhao Yan insisted on letting him follow him through the final battle and witness himself win the championship in the nearest position!

Therefore, under the watchful eye, Coach Sun followed Zhao Yan into the competition venue.

He didn't know how many people were looking at him at this moment, he just felt dizzy and felt too unreal.

A few months ago, a college student enrolled in his class, and even though he was just a rookie fighter, he said that he would enter the UFC with his regrets.

A few months later, he walked him into the UFC heavyweight title arena and had him stand on the sidelines as a coach.

It feels like a dream.

"Next, please invite the Sacred Heart Fist from the Sharp Country-Mogan Rhodes!!!"

The UFC president shouted.

The scene immediately erupted in tsunami-like applause and cheers!

Mogan Rhodes entered.

When the two fighters stood in the ring, the UFC president voluntarily walked out, and the referee did not enter, but stood on the sidelines.

This is a joint application of the two - in this game, the referee should not be on the field.

Other than that, tonight's game ring and iron cage are specially made.

Instead of wooden planks, steel plates are laid under the ring!

The wires around were all thickened.

In short, this ring is enough for the two to let go of their hands and feet to fight.

As the referee on the sidelines shouted 'Game Starts', the number of people who paid to watch the game on the side of Jianguo has exceeded six million!

On the side of the Dragon Kingdom, the total number of people in all the live broadcast rooms exceeded 20 million!

In the ring, Zhao Yan looked at Mogan Rhodes not far away, and felt that the other party looked like a calm lake, but there was already an undercurrent under the surface of the lake.

In Mogan Rhodes' perception, Zhao Yan is like a towering mountain, most of which is hidden in the clouds and mist, and it is impossible to see where the peak is.

But he believed that after tonight, the mountain would be leveled by itself!

Zhao Yan clenched his left hand into a fist at his waist, his right hand was palmed, stood in front of him, stood with his feet apart, and posed in a Tai Chi boxing frame, signaling Mogan Rhodes to attack.

Mogan Rhodes took a deep breath and rushed towards Zhao Yan.

After getting closer, he raised his right arm and slammed a simple straight fist into Zhao Yan's face.

However, this punch puzzled many of the fighting masters present, because judging from the distance between the two and the length of Mogan Rhodes' arm, this punch could not hit Zhao Yan.

Mogan Rhodes misjudged distance?

As soon as this ridiculous idea arose in everyone's hearts, Mogan Rhodes in the ring shrank his left arm and sent his right shoulder forward, and his right arm was actually lengthened out of thin air!

This punch was like a spear, stabbing at Zhao Yan's face with a chilling murderous aura.

Sacred Heart: Spear Kill!

This move combines ancient yoga and Islam's Muhammad Fist, and the change is sudden and the killing power is huge.

However, when Mogan Rhodes shrugged his shoulders, Zhao Yan 'heard' the change in the opponent's strength, so he took a step in advance, turned sideways to avoid this punch, and at the same time put his right hand on the opponent's right arm, and led forward with the momentum, followed by another push, and a wave of bouncing power was released!

However, Zhao Yan suddenly felt that Mogan Rhodes's arm had become very soft, as if it had changed from a hard spear to a noodle at once.

After his bounce hit his opponent, he was weak and didn't bounce Mogan Rhodes away.

In the next second, Mogan Rhodes's arm muscles tightened, and he turned into a spear again, sweeping towards Zhao Yan with even more turbulent power!

Smack-

Zhao Yan was swept back a few steps by a move.

The scene burst into applause and cheers.

Zhao Yan, who was repulsed, looked at Mogan Rhodes and smiled:

"It's kind of interesting."

When Zhao Yan and Mogan Rhodes started the match, Han Dianguo walked into a park a few kilometers away from the venue.

At this time, there were not many people in this park, and Han Dianguo walked all the way into a small forest.

"I'm coming, where do I want it?"

Han Dianguo said calmly.

"When you die, out of humanitarianism, we will ask the other party to bring your ashes back."

A voice rang out in the woods.

Han Dianguo turned his head to look and saw a small horn on a tree trunk.

He smiled: "It's hard to say who lives and who dies." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was movement in all directions.

Hundreds of humanoid robots have poured into the woods!

Note 1: There are 'spiders' and 'night demons' who learn Wing Chun in the UFC, if you are interested, you can check them, both of them are legendary fighters.

The news of the Marine Corps practicing Wing Chun, if you are interested, you can also check it.

Of course, the description of national art in this book is exaggerated and apocryphal, after all. But as for whether the national art can be beaten, whether it is powerful or not, I have actually passed the stage where I like to argue with others. Whether you believe it or not, just read it happily~
