As we all know, MMA mixed martial arts, Muay Thai, wrestling, boxing and other actual combat combatants usually divide players by weight. Under the premise of the same skills, the heavier one has stronger striking power and has an advantage. Therefore, for the sake of fairness, we must let

Two players are competing in the same weight class. Secondly, it is necessary to check whether both parties have used banned substances against the spirit of sports, so the weighing session is essential.

There is also a very interesting point about weighing. Commercial competitions are weighed 28-30 hours before the game. After many events are weighed, it does not matter even if the athletes' weight exceeds the standard.

For example, for a UFC lightweight athlete, according to the rules, his weight should be below 70 kilograms. But in order to gain a greater physical advantage, his daily weight will often be above 80 kilograms. So after receiving the competition notice,

, he would use various methods such as crazy exercise, dieting, dehydration, and inducing vomiting to force himself to lose ten kilograms in a short period of time, and then weigh himself.

Thirty hours after the weigh-in, the athlete will quickly replenish water and nutrients to try his best to return his body to his daily weight.

According to a British sports association data survey, most mixed martial arts fighters can lose an average of 5.6 kilograms through extreme weight loss one week before the weigh-in. And within 32 hours after the weigh-in, they can regain an average of 7.4 kilograms of weight.

.

So often in fighting competitions, you will see on the ring sign that it says two lightweight athletes under 70 kilograms are fighting, but it is actually two welterweights under 77 kilograms fighting. You can see from the screen

The bodies of the two athletes don't feel right. They seem to be much heavier than 70KG. Yes, your feeling is right...

This is taking advantage of a loophole in the rules, but since all athletes do this, it is fair.

The technique of adjusting the condition, the understanding of one's own body, and the willpower to control the weight when dehydrated are considered by all combat athletes to be the most important part of the game.

However, the process of losing weight like crazy and then regaining weight in a short period of time is not only painful, but also seriously endangers the physical and mental health of the players. There are many athletes in the world who have fallen ill or even died due to weight loss before competition.

Yang Jianbing, a Chinese player signed by ONE Championship in 2015, died of heart failure due to severe dehydration before the competition. Since then, although other fighting leagues have not modified the weight reduction rules, ONE Championship has violated the original intention of sports and is responsible for the health of players.

Reason, this loophole that is not a loophole has been modified.

ONE requires all its players to only use their daily weight to compete. Players must submit their daily weight and preparation weight values ​​once a week. If the weight does not reach the standard at the weigh-in, the two parties can reach an agreement when the weight difference does not exceed 5%.

Weight competition.

I have to say that this is a very humane move. Gao Yun has been considering asking the UFC to implement this rule, but the impact of this change is too great. Many players are very knowledgeable about weight loss, and this move will seriously damage their opponents.

The results of the competition will affect the enjoyment of the competition, thereby losing paying audiences, so it can only be temporarily shelved.

…

At the weighing site of the Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium, ONE officially distributed 6,000 weighing tickets, and the seats were packed with people.

The first to be weighed were the eight kickboxing and Muay Thai athletes from the four back-up matches.

Gao Yun was in the backstage office, chatting with Chatri Sityudong, the founder and CEO of ONE Championship, in his free time.

UFE, but still left a part of the equity to Xiyutang, and under Gao Yun's suggestion, ONE still maintained the independence of some rights. While Xiyutang was running ONE, he was also helping him take charge of the operation and management of UFC China.

, worked exceptionally well.

Gao Yun is considering that if Dana White performs poorly in the future, he may give Syotang the opportunity to take charge of the UFC.

Because this Singaporean man in his early forties not only looks more talented than Dana White, but also has an interesting life experience, and can even be said to be super inspirational.

Chatri Sityodtang loved fighting since he was a child. He did not study well and his family was well-off. However, the Asian financial crisis went bankrupt overnight. His father abandoned the family, leaving him and his mother to depend on each other. Then Sityodtang began a big career.

After a transformation, he was admitted to Harvard Business School, worked and studied, and after graduation started an Internet company in Silicon Valley. It became successful a few years later, and cashed out at a price of 40 million U.S. dollars. Then Xiyoutang went to Wall Street and became a

The manager of a $400 million hedge fund soon made enough money. He quit his job, which he considered mediocre, and decided to devote himself to the fighting he loved. So he founded ONE Championship. In just ten years,

Time has built ONE into what it is today...

It can be said that Xiyutang spans the three fields of Internet, finance and fighting, and has achieved extraordinary success in all of them.

The world is huge and there are awesome characters everywhere.

After seeing the other party's experience, Gao Yun could only sigh with emotion. His two previous trust funds were also established with the help of Xiyoutang, and the other party introduced him to many financial talents.

Chatri Sityudong is very enthusiastic about Gao Yun, not only because he is now one of his bosses, but more importantly, he has a feeling of sympathy for Gao. He may think that he and Gao Yun are very similar, both are Asians.

A man who loves fighting and is self-made. He possesses the same precious virtues as himself: integrity, humility, bravery, justice, diligence, perseverance, etc... This is really a wonderful misunderstanding.

"I learned that Tom DeBlas is in very good shape."

Xiyutang was a little worried: "Although he is old, his record and honors are remarkable. He was once a light heavyweight championship challenger in Tor. He is a very strong fighting athlete. Gao, you chose this one

opponent……"

Gao Yun nodded: "Okay, I think it's no problem."

He has heard similar words from friends around him many times. According to the rational analysis of the information displayed by both parties so far, Tom DeBlanc's winning rate is higher than his, but after the team's judgment, Gao Yun's probability of winning is still very high.

, the two losses in Tom's MMA career were both in the UFC, and his level was average. Although I don't know what his current strength is, there is a certain risk, but if he wants to win the gambling agreement, he must do this, otherwise he will not have enough time.

If we think about it from Xiyutang’s point of view, he extremely hopes that Gao Yun will win the first ring match, otherwise it will be very detrimental to the promotion of ONE and UFC in China. Therefore, ever since Gao Yun chose Tom as his opponent, he has been

While persuading Gao Yun to change candidates.

In the private conversation before the weigh-in, Nisyodo did not give up the idea: "I still want you to change to another one. The Japanese player Kitai Hayato is very good. The confrontation between China and Japan is more topical, and you are more confident."

.Whether you beat him or Tom, your ranking will be almost the same. Now it's too late to make a substitution. I can let Tom pretend to be unwell in private, and then ask him to withdraw. After that, I will ask the matchmaker to arrange it for you as soon as possible.

Championship challenge, against Aung La N Sang..."

Xiyutang undoubtedly had good intentions, and there was no malpractice for personal gain. He was just applying the rules normally.

But Gao Yun still refused. At this point, a temporary substitution was really unjustifiable, and he completely stopped the other party's thoughts with one sentence.

"You and I have come to understand a truth long ago; every shining moment in life should be achieved by you walking on the edge of a knife. Being as comfortable and calm as walking on flat ground is not worthy of any glory."

After speaking slowly, Gao Yun added: "Tell Tom and let him show his true strength. If he defeats me, I will personally reward him with half a million US dollars."

"This... is good."

Xiyoutang was dumbfounded. Being narcissistic, he actually felt a little admiration. He felt that Gao Yun was so damn pure, he was really a warrior...

In fact, it's just bragging and bluffing with a personality, and Gao Yun doesn't really think about it. But whether you are starting a business or after reaching a certain status, you want to unite the people who follow you, especially Xiyoutang who is older than him.

, geniuses who are smarter than him, so that they can convince you to work with you, this persona must be established, your awesomeness must be boasted, and your feelings must be expressed.

Jack Ma was famous for being a big liar when he started his business, but what about now?

Musk is also a liar. Everyone knows that immigrating to Mars is impossible, but he is now the world's richest man, worth 200 billion U.S. dollars, by building "Musk equals the most advanced, awesome and cool technology"

"The character design, then make the most beautiful PPT, draw the biggest pie, brag the most, continue to raise funds, go public, Tesla stock takes off all the way...

Columbus initially wanted to deceive the King of Spain into sponsoring his voyage to America, but he did not expect to discover the New World. He was a big deceiver, but he was also a hero who dared to be the first. There is no contradiction between the two.

But whether a person is deceiving 70% of his feelings or 70% of his feelings, there must be a basic estimate. If he is deceiving 70% of his feelings and achieves some results, then while affirming his achievements,

, always be wary of him, because he may one day make full use of that score and make you pay ten percent of the price.

Gao Yun believes that he should be stronger, which is about six points for emotion, four points for deception, and the remaining 90 points are all made up by the system.

Oh, be grateful!

"Now, I'd like to invite Jiu-Jitsu master, Tom DiBlaz, to come on stage to weigh in."

"I'm on stage too."

"Well, I'll accompany you."

Following the words of the host in front of the stage, Gao Yun and Xiyoutang hugged each other, and the latter also walked out of the room with him and arrived at the hot weighing scene.

"101 kilograms!"

At this point, Gao Yun saw his opponent Tom DeBlanc for the first time. There was not much difference in weight between the two. In terms of height, Gao Yun was two centimeters taller than him, and his arm circumference was also longer. Looking at the physical data alone, Gao Yun was taller than him.

Yun may still have a slight advantage, but the main disadvantage is his experience in the ring. The gap in this area is indeed huge.

Tom has a beard, a square face, and a sense of peace in his big bulging eyes. He has a naked upper body, a big waist, and several medium-sized tattoos on his chest and arms. Standing opposite him, he looks like

Yuan Ting Yue Zhi.

"Next, I invite Gao Yun to take the stage to weigh in!"

Gao Yun didn't have any title or nickname, so he couldn't be bothered. He just waited until he got his results. At this time, amid the warm applause of the audience, he walked to the stage, took off his shirt and trousers, and went straight to the scale wearing big pants and shirtless.

"Oh~"

"handsome!"

"God, come on!"

Thousands of spectators gave huge cheers and applause, and some people waved small national flags.

"99 kilograms!"

Gao Yun simply waved his hand as a response to the fans, and then stepped off the scale. Under the guidance of Xiyutang, the two stood in front of the spotlight and posed in a confrontational pose.

Compared with the previous players who participated in the back-up match, the group of Gao Yun and Tom is undoubtedly much less explosive. The former has always been emotionally stable and does not want to use any off-the-table moves to irritate his opponents. The latter is a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles.

, was also very calm, and even shook hands with Gao Yun after the confrontation.

"See you at the game."

Gao Yun exerted a little more force and said with a smile: "Use all your strength and you will get extra bonuses."

Tom was stunned for a moment, and when he realized what he was doing, he immediately increased the force on his hands and nodded with a grin: "You will see it! Boy, I'm going to give you a lively fighting lesson! Just like your other coaches."

Really? But my coach is no longer my opponent...

Gao Yun silently stopped, put on his clothes, turned around and left.

"Ayun! Can you accept an interview?"
