Chapter 196 UFC Debut
It wasn't until they completed the check-in procedures and actually moved in that the new employees understood that this newly founded company did seem to have some strength. Maybe the boss was a rich second generation who also wanted to build a career. Prove yourself to your elders.
For Li Ang, these are purely convenient things that don't cost much money anyway. Now that the company has just started, making employees feel a sense of belonging as soon as possible is the most important thing.
Dinner was also booked at a high-end restaurant not far from here. It was arranged by President Bai's secretary. Considering that he was a guest, Li Ang only brought Katina and Louise with him.
Before going out, Louise Hurst was still chattering to Katina, asking her to persuade her boss to spend as much money as possible on key places. Now she is indeed rich, but in the early days, the investment was more than In return, the money will eventually be spent. The longer you persist, the greater the chance of success.

"Boss, it seems that as a player, you have a good status in the hearts of UFC executives. After you came over, you even arranged a dinner."
Louise's eyes widened and she said approvingly to Leon who was sitting behind the car.
"It's okay. I'm pretty familiar with the president of UFC."
Li Ang responded calmly.
Louise curled her lips, obviously not believing it, but of course she would not refute the boss's face in person, but she did not continue the topic.
After entering the restaurant and seeing the lineup in front of him, Louis even whispered to Katina next to him:
"Who is our boss? Why is the UFC president's assistant even here?"
Katina was a little confused, "You even know the president's assistant?"
Then he continued to answer:
"The boss is indeed a newcomer to the UFC, but he has participated in other competitions under the UFC president before and won the championship. Maybe it is for this reason, so he has a good relationship with them."
Louis shook his head and said that he didn't know him, and then told Katina with some knowledge, "Since the boss has signed a UFC professional player, and this is also the main operation direction, we have to do our homework ourselves. I have been studying these related knowledge every night, including remembering people."
Although Katina usually works seriously and spends a lot of time in this area outside of working hours, she really didn't realize this before this.
This made her recognize her senior sister's abilities, and at the same time aroused her sense of urgency and competitiveness.
In the middle of the meal, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open, and a bald white man wearing a very casual suit walked in.
Louis looked up, and the knife and fork in his hand fell on the plate in surprise, making a clattering sound.
Even though she had never seen it before, this was the face she saw the most when searching for UFC-related information.
The man who walked in front of him was the UFC's global chief executive, Dana White.
For a moment, even the chewing movements in her mouth slowed down.
In terms of wealth, he is worth hundreds of millions, in terms of social status, he is the president of UFC, and in terms of popularity, his popularity is definitely not inferior to that of some popular stars.
Louis felt that her trip was so worth it, even if she wasted a month and didn't get paid, she didn't care.
But soon her eyes lit up. Since her boss's background could be used by President Bai Da to treat him to dinner, it also meant that this start-up company had unlimited possibilities, and naturally it would not be that kind of thing. A parallel import company that collapsed within a month of opening.
"My dear Li, you are finally here. I have been looking forward to your debut for a long time."
As soon as Dana came in, she gave Li Ang a warm hug.
In fact, ordinary players would naturally not receive such high attention from him.
But Li Ang is different. Even if his strength is put aside, there are too many hot spots that can be discovered in him. With his keen business sense, it is almost certain that Li Ang can bring higher profits to his company. Popularity and big money.
After dinner, Dana Bai also told Li Ang about matters related to this debut.
"In this debut, I plan to leave the decision to you. I mean, I can provide you with three opponents to choose from."
As Dana Bai spoke, he asked his assistant to bring the tablet over and let Li Ang look at the relevant information of several players.
The assistant also introduced Li Ang:
"The first one is Pascal Glenn. He was born practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He has just debuted for less than a year. Like you, he is also a new player. The advantage of choosing him is that according to our estimation, you can beat him in the standing stage. His probability can reach more than 75%, which is a relatively safe choice. The disadvantage is that his popularity is not very high, so if the two of you fight, it may not have much impact on your popularity. "
"Winning rate in the standing phase?"
Li Ang repeated what he just said, "What about the ground?"
The assistant smiled calmly and replied:
"On the ground, the winning rate is less than 5%. We have learned that according to your past information, you have never learned ground techniques. Therefore, we have also told the selected players that they do not know how to use the ground. Technology attacks you.β
"There is nothing we can do about it. Time is too tight. After your debut, we will immediately arrange for you to have professional wrestling and jujitsu coaches to train your ground skills. This shortcoming can only be made up slowly."
Li Ang also nodded. No wonder he had the highest winning rate against this professional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu player. It turned out that he was the one who was playing dirty tricks.
"The second one is Jose Drost. His skills are relatively comprehensive, but not outstanding. He is also popular, but not too high. Overall, you should have a winning rate of about 60%, which is relatively average. choose"
"This third player was personally selected by the president for you. His name is Manolo Drake. Although he is also a player who has only been signed for less than two years, and his fighting style is the same as yours, with weak ground skills, but His strength is definitely the strongest among the newcomers in the past two years. In terms of popularity, he is much higher than the previous two combined. This is this guy. Your chance of winning should not exceed 40%."
The assistant paused and continued:
"Actually, I think he is not very suitable as your debut opponent. Although the first show pursues traffic, it is also very important to get a good start. If you choose him, you may not be able to make your debut, but you will become His show.β
"Anyway, it's up to you to make your own choice."
"I choose Manolo Drake."
Without hesitation, Li Ang directly chose the most popular and strongest Manolo Drake.
His strength is improving almost every day, and what he showed before was not at his full strength.
So no matter what opponent he encounters, he is sure to win. In this case, of course he has to choose the most popular player.
"Look, what I said, I knew he would definitely choose Manolo Drake. Now you have to pay for this dinner."
Dana Bai suddenly laughed and said proudly to his assistant.
The assistant was also a little unexpected. You must know that the winning rate he just talked about was not a random guess, but a data that was truly combined with Li Ang's previous performance.
Therefore, it is enough to show that this person is really quite powerful.
Compared with the assistant who was obsessed with letting Li Ang win, Dana Bai was more open-minded. He lay leisurely on the seat and said to Li Ang:
"The reason why I added this option is because I really want to see you two fight. As for winning or losing, it is important, but it is not that important. Sometimes it is not necessarily the winning side that will be remembered by the audience. , I think you two will definitely be able to contribute a pretty exciting battle.β
After Li Ang chose his opponent, UFC officials also spent a lot of resources on publicity and promotion, and their efforts were almost as strong as those of those already well-known players who were promoting their first show after entering the UFC.
A Huang Mao wearing e-sports headphones was listening to electronic music while browsing the official UFC push.
"Hey, Bob, come and look, there's a new guy here, and he's actually a Chinese."
His roommate, a fat man who looked to be at least 200 pounds, soon appeared in front of his computer.
Although both of them are complete homebodies, they both love watching mixed martial arts matches.
"Wow, he looks good in shape. Is he a lightweight? (145 pounds-155 pounds) or a featherweight? (135 pounds-145 pounds)"
"I think so," Huang Mao said as he pulled down the enlarged version of Li Ang's poster. "Wait, did I read it correctly?"
"Wardfa! Are they sure they didn't make a mistake? Welterweight? (185 pounds-205 pounds)"
"It's no exaggeration to say, Bob, I think your size should be able to catch up with both of his."
Huang Mao said jokingly.
"Seriously, maybe it's an issue with the photo shoot. In terms of weight, I don't think the official will make such a stupid mistake. Keep reading."
Huang Mao continued to pull down the web page.
"What the hell? This player is actually from traditional martial arts? He is even the honorary chairman of the Chinese Martial Arts Association? Are you kidding me?"
No wonder they were so surprised, but as they often watch professional fighting competitions, they still can't connect traditional Chinese Kung Fu with mixed martial arts.
After all, among the many athletes currently in service, I have yet to hear of anyone who has a background in martial arts. There are quite a few so-called kung fu masters who come to compete with UFC athletes.
The two of them almost immediately regarded Li Ang as such a person.
"Maybe it's to gain traffic. Anyway, the competition needs popularity, but it's outrageous that he can sign a contract. Aren't UFC officials afraid of affecting their credibility?"
The fat man shook his head, feeling helpless and could only continue to look down.
"Okay, okay, skip that information and let me see who his opponent is."
"Wow, Manolo 'Row' Drake, this kid's debut against him? I guess that's going to make him retire on his debut."
Huang Mao said jokingly.
Those who can come up with nicknames on the court are basically those with two skills. The reason why Manolo Drake is nicknamed Roar is precisely because he likes to yell after winning on the stage.
But the opportunity to shout loudly also reflects his strength. Although he is a newcomer, his winning rate is quite high. Most people predict that he may have a chance to rush into the top ten list of the welterweight class within a year.
The fat man suddenly nodded and said:
"I think I roughly understand the official intention. This match is said to be the debut of this Chinese player, but I think it is actually an exhibition match for the "roaring" Manolo Drake. As the most promising newcomer in the past two years, it makes sense that the official is willing to give him some resources to help him hype."
The yellow-haired man also nodded, "It makes sense. Anyway, this Chinese player is unlikely to be defeated by anyone, and he has a lot of buffs on him. It is indeed appropriate to give him an experience pack."
Such discussions are happening all over the world. Even in China, there are a small number of fans who pay attention to UFC games and noticed the debut of this newcomer, especially when they found that UFC has added another Chinese player.
However, most people have similar ideas. Li Ang is basically weak in combat power just because he is a traditional martial arts practitioner.
There may be some traditional martial arts fans in China, but these people will never overlap with professional fighting enthusiasts.
Because anyone who knows a little about fighting knows that this kind of training method of traditional martial arts will never produce a real combat master.
However, although most people in China still do not look favorably on Li Ang's debut after a round of analysis, they still hope that more Chinese players can show the style of the yellow race on this stage.
As a contestant, Li Ang naturally has a lot of friends and relatives votes, and several of them were sent to Charles.
After hearing the news, Charles was also a little dumbfounded. He knew that Li Ang's kung fu was very powerful, but he never thought that he would go directly to UFC.
However, as Li Ang's best friend, he helped Li Ang promote it in the class as soon as possible.
The classmates in the class would only react more exaggeratedly than him. After all, he had at least seen Li Ang fight so many times, but the only impression of his classmates on him was that Li Ang won an inter-school boxing championship.
But even so, the two were completely incomparable. It felt like a classmate with a low sense of presence in the class suddenly became famous and won the first place in the joint entrance examination of several schools.
And the news announced now was no different from this classmate suddenly getting a place in Peking University and Tsinghua University.
And speaking of it, UFC rookies are even rarer than Peking University and Tsinghua University's recommended students.
"Does anyone want to go and see it?"
As soon as Charles opened his mouth, the classroom, which was still in a heated discussion just now, suddenly became quiet.
If the competition was held nearby, there might be many people who wanted to go and join in the fun.
But this competition was in another state, and they had to take leave to go. In addition to the cost of tickets and travel expenses, the motivation of joining in the fun alone could not drive them.
"I have free tickets here!"
Charles continued.
But no one paid attention to him. Even if the tickets were free, the travel expenses were still a lot of money, and he had to ask for leave.
"Can I go?"
A little girl with freckles sitting next to Leon's empty table asked timidly.
