Cultivating through increasing my stats in America Chapter 313 - 200: Breaking Records!2
Then Magod Ankalaev made his entrance; although both fighters received cheers, the volu was in completely different leagues.
One, a forr contender who lost the championship of this weight class due to a controversial referee decision; the other, just in his second UFC fight. In terms of both strength and honor, there was no comparison.
However, the louder the cheers for his opponent, the more excited Li Ang beca because this ant his money was indeed well spent.
As the match officially began, Magod Ankalaev looked on with interest at the newcor who had just turned eighteen, genuinely curious as to why he would forgo profits and choose to fight him. Was it for fa?
But since the newcor had paid, he planned to give him a minute to show off, to go easy on him for a minute, and then, after that, bring out his full strength and send him packing.
"Ding!"
The mont the bell sounded, Li Ang moved. His goal in this match wasn’t just to simply secure a victory.
His leg shot up high, his whole body spinning 360° in the air as he delivered a flying kick at his opponent’s head.
"Ward, is that Capoeira? Is he serious?"
"Doesn’t he realize Magod Ankalaev isn’t just so amateur?"
As soon as Li Ang made his move, the audience almost unanimously doubted his decision.
This move, also known as a Capoeira death kick, reveals from the na alone that although it’s extrely powerful and indeed cool, it also exposes one’s vulnerability to the opponent.
Therefore, the timing of this move is crucial. A slight miscalculation, and not only could the attack miss the opponent, but one might also give them the opportunity for a counter and a possible knockout.
Hence, it’s generally used against weaker opponents or when the opponent is in a poor state.
Those in the audience, having watched countless matches, were witnessing for the first ti soone starting with such a risky move. Were they trying to set a record for the fastest knockout?
Upon seeing Li Ang’s motion, Magod Ankalaev instinctively found it amusing. Did his opponent not take him seriously?
Originally he had thought of holding back, but now, he just wanted to strike directly at Li Ang’s weakness and end the match, perhaps even setting a record for the fastest 3-second knockout.
But this thought only lasted a mont because the next instant, Li Ang’s leg had already reached his face.
His speed was so fast that it was too late for Magod Ankalaev to spot any flaws to exploit, and even dodging was out of the question. All he could do was turn his head and extend his arm to brace for the impact.
Unfortunately, the terrifying speed combined with significant weight led to only one outco—complete devastation.
Even though Magod Ankalaev had prepared to defend himself, his upper body still got blasted like it was struck by a hamr, and he instantly lost balance and crashed to the ground.
The impact was so great that the floor emitted a loud "bang!" The next instant, the referee arrived, but Magod Ankalaev had already rolled his eyes back, unconscious.
The whole process, even including the ti for the referee’s decision, took only two seconds.
When the referee declared Li Ang the winner, over 90% of the audience hadn’t even had ti to react.
[Break Limit Point] 2.0
Li Ang cracked a smile. He had co with the goal of breaking records, naturally, he couldn’t just hold back his strength and speed to match his opponent’s level.
It was tough on his opponent, though. He hoped that his appearance fee and the winnings would be enough to cover the dical expenses.
Similarly, with Mike leading the stand-up cheer, the whole audience finally erupted like a switch had been flipped, cheering for today’s victor, Li Ang.
In the past, even the quickest KOs required so feeling out between the fighters, but Li Ang was different. As soon as the bell rang, he launched his attack as if aiming for the fastest possible KO.
Because of Li Ang’s terrifying kick, the organizers of the event hardly paid attention to the subsequent fights, gathering instead in front of the high-speed caras, repeatedly reviewing the footage of Li Ang’s KO.
Louis, who was adept at online operations, now had flushed cheeks and was breathing rapidly. She realized that her boss’s fa was about to skyrocket.
The more popular Li Ang’s opponents were, the more popularity he gained.
Moreover, if the boss really did break the record, the subsequent traffic and warmth would be even more terrifying.
It could be said that the news of any UFC star would have to give way to the news of the boss breaking the record. It wouldn’t make him an instant top-tier player, but becoming a second-tier player was definitely within reach.
Before the night’s fights had even ended, the organizing committee had co to a conclusion: Li Ang had succeeded in breaking the UFC’s fastest KO record with a ti of 2.13 seconds.
In fact, they were happy to see a fighter breaking records, because not only did the record-breaking fighter gain popularity, but the UFC itself also benefited from the valuable influx of external traffic.
Unlike fighters who only need to compete for traffic within UFC’s existing audience base, which is the internal traffic pool, UFC as an organization needs to expand outward more, to draw in those who previously did not watch mixed martial arts.
And there is nothing better than breaking records to catch the public’s attention in this regard.
anwhile, in a hotel eting room in New York, local martial arts gyms had sent representatives to attend the regular eting of the Martial Arts Association.
Because Li Ang had led the Chinese Martial Arts Association to victory at the last martial arts exchange conference, they were the principal managers of the entire Martial Arts Association for that year.
At the eting, representatives of the Chinese Martial Arts Association were reporting on their business operations for the period. Naturally, their honorary president Li Ang featured prominently in the achievents showcase.
"Recently, our association’s honorary president Li Ang has officially signed as a UFC professional fighter. In his debut match, he delivered an outstanding performance, defeating a rising contender..."
However, it was clear that most people were not too excited about this news. So even discussed loudly "below," suggesting that becoming a UFC fighter was no big deal. Many join each year, but very few last in the long run.
And as for Li Ang, he was still an unknown, hardly known to any audience. What would a few viewers even know of him?
Although fundantally they acknowledged the prowess of UFC professional fighters, when it ca to Li Ang, they didn’t consider his new status as elevating him. Instead, they felt that Li Ang’s inclusion diluted the status of UFC fighters.
Yi Kong, who was presenting on the stage, was furious but couldn’t lash out. Just as he was about to close his PPT, a news alert suddenly popped up in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Without thinking, the audience looked over, not yet focusing on the text, but they recognized the person in the notification image—it was none other than Li Ang, who had just been ntioned in the PPT.
"Breaking the fastest KO record? Defeating Magod Ankalaev? Ward’s fight?"
The representatives from the various gyms attending the eting murmured the content from the notification.
Looking at the tily pop-up, Yi Kong on stage nearly laughed his face off, smoothly clicking on the notification.
No strength? How about KO’ing Magod Ankalaev, the heavyweight ranked third?
No popularity? How about directly breaking the fastest KO record?
With this news, their Chinese Martial Arts Association had at least a decade’s worth of material to promote.
The few who had made the decision to appoint Li Ang as the honorary president were imnsely glad of their choice.
With this connection, they could proudly hang Li Ang’s photos on the walls of their own gyms, making Li Ang the face of their establishnt.
