Chapter 449: The Man Who Brought the UFC to the Finale
Bergan is indeed not in a hurry to let Zhang Chu appear, and after winning this cross-division gold belt challenge, Zhang Chu seems to have become the top name of the UFC.
With an outstanding image, strong ability, and no shortage of gimmicks in itself, the name of a kung fu star from China alone is enough to attract the attention of many people.
If you come to this level and frequently compete on stage, how can you raise your status and hold up this signboard.
The only pity is that Zhang Chu and the UFC only signed a one-year contract.
After the contract expired, Bergan was not sure whether Zhang Chu was willing to renew it.
In his opinion, Zhang Chu's Chinese kung fu is simply a waste of acting, and he should dedicate all of it to the fighting arena and win more honor in the octagon.
But now is not the time to be anxious about this, he still has time to let Zhang Chu feel the charm of martial arts.
The most important thing at the moment is to confirm that there is anyone in the alliance who is willing to challenge Zhang Chu.
Originally, Bergan was still very confident, he believed in the courage of Westerners to dare to challenge the impossible, but he ignored another key factor.
If you have to lose a game, you may even die for it, and is there anyone who is willing to stand up and launch a challenge?
If in Zhang Chu and Mark. Before Dudley fights like this, there may not be a shortage of challengers.
However, Dudley is still lying in the hospital.
It is still unknown whether they will wake up, or even survive.
There is such an example in front of them, who would joke with their own life.
Defeating Zhang Chu is already a hellish level of difficulty, if you have to take your own life, is it worth it?
No one is stupid.
So, three days after the assistant's text message was sent, there was still no reply.
Now Bergan also began to get anxious.
Zhang Chu has two belts in his hands, and the cross-division challenge tournament cannot be held at any time.
In other words, Zhang Chu could only sit on his throne and wait for the challenger to come to the door.
If no one has challenged it, the alliance will not be able to force Zhang Chu to take the stage.
In this way, wouldn't the UFC be directly beaten by Zhang Chu into the finale?
What's the matter?
The CEO Bogan, who is usually the most active, also has a feeling of sitting on wax now, and he knew that he should not arrange for Zhang Chu to participate in the cross-level gold belt challenge.
Now it's okay, Zhang Chu is directly alone, and there is no challenger coming to the door.
What's next?
Directly seal the sword and retire to the rivers and lakes.
Don't talk nonsense!
Bergan is also counting on Zhang Chu to continue to increase the influence of the UFC and make money for the league.
Maybe......
There is another path to take.
Seal Zhang's two belts to allow him to keep them forever, and then rename them in both the welterweight and superheavyweight divisions for fighters to fight for.
When the time comes, let Zhang Chu rush out of the rivers and lakes and compete for a new gold belt as a challenger.
Belch......
Isn't that too straightforward?
Anyone who can see that the UFC is gathering wool.
But what else can be done besides this method?
You can't let Zhang Chu take the initiative to give up the honor in hand, right?
Ignoring Bergan who was so anxious that his hair was about to grow out, and after the crazy September, Zhang Chu began to devote himself to the filming of "Octagon Cage".
A two-point-and-one-line life between the set and the hotel every day.
Occasionally, when I finish work early, I will take Zhang Ziyi to visit the metropolis of Los Angeles.
Kobe Bryant has already started preseason training and has no time to deal with Zhang Chu.
But Zhang Chu suddenly got Kobe's news one day, which was still bad news.
This dude is out of the game.
Probably because he was away from his family, closed training, and had nowhere to vent too much energy, after his training, when he went to the bar for fun, he met a girl who made his heart flutter.
And then......
Something happened naturally.
Originally, it was something you and I wanted, but afterwards, the girl who made Kobe Bryant's heart flutter didn't talk about martial arts and went directly to the police station to sue him.
NBA superstars are suspected of sex. Infringement, as soon as the news broke, it immediately caused a sensation in the United States.
Countless media outlets have gone to Eagle County to get first-hand information.
Zhang Chu is a friend of Kobe, if he doesn't take the initiative to care about it at this time, it seems a little unreasonable.
A phone call came, and through the translator, the two of them chatted briefly for a while.
Kobe Bryant's mood was obviously very low, as if he was still in a state of sage and had not recovered.
"I swear, I didn't force anyone."
Pull it down!
Is it still important to force it or not?
That woman's matter can basically be settled with money, and the other party made such a big news, isn't it just to make a profit!
If he really used force, could Kobe still be able to drag that woman all the way from the bar to the hotel room, and there would not be a single enthusiastic citizen who acted bravely on the way?
What Kobe Bryant should really care about now is how to ask Vanessa's forgiveness.
As soon as someone gave birth to a big girl for him, he made this kind of thing and caused such a big trouble.
It is estimated that Vanessa is about to go crazy at home.
The matter is still under investigation, and no one knows what the outcome will be until there is conclusive evidence.
But the almighty media can't wait, taking advantage of the high heat of this matter, it must be stirred up fiercely!
Kobe Bryant is still assisting in the investigation stage, and the other party of the party has become a popular star, constantly giving interviews, putting himself in the position of the victim, and his daily job is to cry about how much Kobe has done to her.
Then it's time to stand in line, Kobe Bryant, as an NBA player, many players in the league were asked about their attitude towards this matter when they were interviewed by reporters.
Some people expressed their support for Kobe, some people chose to wait and see, and some people stood on the opposite side of Kobe.
At present, O'Neal, the boss of the Lakers, naturally can't hide from it.
It's just that when asked, O'Neill's attitude was a little vague, saying that he only believed in the truth.
This big black fat man is a stupid pig!
Even if there is a conflict between him and Kobe, at this time, as the boss of the team, he should also show his support for Kobe, but he came to "believe in the truth".
Where did the truth come from?
Can't Kobe Bryant's room still have a camera, right?
This kind of thing is nothing more than saying its own thing, and in the end waiting for the banknote ability to play a role.
The only one who will be affected is Kobe, and perhaps it will become a stain on his life and form a rift between him and Vanessa that will be difficult to repair.
Zhang Chu is a friend of Kobe, and the media will naturally not let him go, and when asked if he believes Kobe Bryant is innocent, his answer is also very simple.
"Of course, I believe my friend, as for the reason...... No need! ”
There is no need for these three words to directly confuse the reporters who interviewed him.
What does it mean?
A closer look will make you clear.
Is Kobe short of money?
The answer is obvious, as a superstar in the NBA, Kobe Bryant has a big contract of tens of millions, how can he be short of money.
Is Kobe Bryant short of women?
The answer is also very clear, everyone knows that NBA stars are always surrounded by a bunch of women, as long as Kobe Bryant hooks his fingers, what kind of woman can't get it, why do you need to be strong?
What's the matter?
That's exciting!?
So, as Zhang Chu said, there is no need!
This matter is completely self-directed and self-acted by the woman, Kobe, a stupid kid, is at best a loss of personal morality, no big deal.
Zhang Chu said this, in fact, it was easy to cause trouble for him.
American society is particularly pathological in some aspects, such as racism and sexism that are often talked about.
These two themes are directly used by the American public as a yardstick to judge a person's moral level.
Although Zhang Chu didn't say anything, it was easy for the media to interpret it as a discriminatory attitude towards women.
Fortunately, Zhang Chu is not a single gang now, and he relies on Warner Bros. behind him.
Once Zhang Chu gets into trouble, it will be Warner, Irving who will suffer at that time. Turner didn't want the people he had worked so hard to recruit for the company to be boycotted by the American public.
So, on the day that Zhang Chu finished the interview, Owen. Turner arranged for Zhang Chu to be sent to a rally against domestic violence.
Let's see, Zhang Chu has always been concerned about the status of women's families, and is a fighter who resolutely opposes domestic violence against women.
Proper Friends of Women!
Irving. Turner's quick response and clever means made the reporters who were writing the article confused.
I'm halfway through the article, and I can make Zhang Chu stink just by looking at it, will you give me this hand?
Cow break!
Afterwards, Wang Jinghua heard about the incident and beat Zhang Chu down, and he felt palpitations.
The United States is a place that pays attention to political correctness, and one negligence can ruin a person if it recruits itself into darkness.
What's more, it's a public figure like Zhang Chu.
Once he is recognized as a sexist, Zhang Chu's future development in Hollywood will basically come to an end.
As time goes by, Zhang Chu's popularity is gradually cooling, people are waiting for his new work to be released, and there are no new moves on the UFC side, which makes Zhang Chu live a quiet life.
Kobe's has also begun to be artificially cooled, just like UFC CEO Bergan wants to make Zhang Chu the league's No. 1 star.
NBA's league commissioner David Brown. Stern also didn't want to ruin the league's first person after Jordan, whom he selected for the NBA, because of this incident.
There is David. Stern made a move, and soon there was new "evidence", and eyewitnesses who didn't know where they were also jumped out one after another, proving that the woman happily followed Kobe Bryant out of the bar that night.
And these witnesses also followed the whole process until Kobe Bryant walked into the elevator with the woman.
If needed, they can follow them to the room and stand by the bed and shout "Come on".
So, after the preliminary trial of the court, the two sides reached a settlement, and Kobe Bryant gave the woman 5 million to settle the matter, and then returned to Los Angeles with Vanessa.
The next thing he has to worry about is how to coax Vanessa's heart back.
