The Bullied One Is Too Good at Fighting - Chapter 177
Outcast is too good at martial arts (177)
Leandro Souza is already a veteran fighter with close to 20 MMA records, but he has never been close to box office success.
The record for PPV sales as a main event was 450,000.
This is not a bad record as a player without a title, but it was far from the box office performance of the flawless.
As soon as the tour started, it was Leandro who realized the ticket power of Cha Moo Gyeol.
As soon as a certain PPV sale was opened, 3 million units were sold, and the press conference hall was filled with representative reporters from the world media every time.
‘I guessed, but it’s completely insane!’
Of course, he didn’t sign a contract to receive a PPV bonus, but this one match would definitely raise Leandro’s profile.
At least as long as it shows a competitive side.
It was Leandro who held the microphone at the press conference with a heavy heart.
‘What should I say?’
When I was about to attack Cha Moo Gyeol, I couldn’t come up with the right sentence.
In fact, Cha Mu-gyeol was a fighter who had nothing to criticize.
But something must be said.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been standing as the main event of a game that sold more than 3 million PPV, but shouldn’t I light this heat?
Leandro Souza threw a clumsy trash talk as if he was being chased by the pressure.
“Cha Mu-gyeol has never felt the weight of a heavyweight. This weight class is the realm of those who have been given fortunes. Maybe at heavyweight, Cha Mu-gyeol will fly like a feather.”
However, Mugyeol possessed a higher level of speech.
Mugyeol, who took the microphone, opened his mouth while watching the reporters instead of Leandro.
“Everyone says heavyweight is a weight class for the chosen. In the first place, it is the weight class of those who were born with the fate of the strong. It is an area that light guys can never challenge. But I want to ask again. Are there only natural physical conditions that can be put forward? It just doesn’t look good to me because it looks like a rich family’s son boasting about his wealth.”
“!”
“Yes I am not a natural heavyweight. However, I intend to invade the heavyweight division of the Chosen One. Isn’t it quite contradictory for SJJ’s fighters, who value training and discipline, to put forward their innate physical condition?”
Leandro’s speech was blocked by the flawless logic.
Taking advantage of that gap, Mugyeol continued to attack.
“Every fighter I argue with needs to know this. The logic that attacked me before the match may trap me after the match. Will you win because of your natural physique? Then what if you lose? Even though he was born with strength, he would be nothing more than a defeated idiot.”
Even Leandro subconsciously nodded at the logic of innocence like liquidation flow.
‘Damn, that logic makes sense!’
“It would be better to swear and flirt without logic. Of course, I can’t tarnish SJJ’s name, so I’ll pretend to be classy.”
In and out of the octagon, the record of undefeated was undefeated.
Leandro struggled to find some way to attack.
When he was pushed out of pure speech, he began to engage in strategic provocations.
“Cha Mu-gyeol has never had a grappling match with a true black belt. I always climb to the top of the Octagon with pride that I learned from SJJ. If you stick with me in Jiu-Jitsu, you’ll probably feel a pressure like you’ve never experienced before.”
A provocation with the meaning of ‘If I compete in jiu-jitsu, I will win’.
However, Mugyeol did not panic this time and responded calmly.
“I know that SJJ’s jiu-jitsu have a strong sense of pride and belonging. The sense of belonging was so strong that it was heartwarming to see the alumni flocking to social media and leaving comments. If I had done more training during the comment time, it would probably have become a more well-known Jiu-Jitsu gym than MBJJ.”
“!”
“It may not teach jiu-jitsu better than MBJJ, but it is definitely a more modern gym. If you look at how to teach how to comment on social media. As far as I know, MBJJ didn’t teach that.”
At the mention of Marcelo’s name, Leandro Souza’s face instantly turned red.
Because the name Marcelo was an eternal inferiority complex to Souja.
It was Leandro who almost got angry, but he pretended to be calm and counterattacked.
“well. Jiu-Jitsu is a sport that is done with the body, not the mouth. Shouldn’t you show it yourself from the top of the Octagon to prove that you’re right?”
“okay. I still think so. I don’t know if I’ll ever get a chance to show it.”
Mugyeol also responded by seriously confronting Leandro’s words.
Although Leandro was in a mess after going through the press conference, he worked hard to overcome himself and smiled.
‘Still, provoking him succeeded!’
Will Cha Mu-gyeol’s heavyweight championship be successful?
Or will it be eaten on the ground without overcoming the weight difference as some predicted.
Time passed in everyone’s anticipation and the day of the WFC 516 match finally arrived.
* * *
[WFC 516 in Abu Dhabi!! Under the cheers of 24,000 spectators, the main event of the day is finally entering the stadium!!]
[Probably the most people who bought tickets and PPV to watch this game today. Middleweight and light heavyweight champion Cha Moo-gyeol’s first heavyweight fight!! Will Cha Moo-gyeol’s monthly championship be successful!!]
[To give him the bitter taste of his first failure, Leandro Souza, ranked 13th in the heavyweight division, climbs into the octagon!! The direct heir of the Souja family and a veteran fighter with a thick bone in MMA!! Leandro Souza, one of the strongest jiu-jitero in the current heavyweight division, is the ultimate opponent!!]
“Don’t forget that you practiced with Leandro! got it?”
“okay.”
“It’s about keeping your pace. It’s dangerous to fight on the streets of car flawless. You know what I mean?”
“of course.”
Leandro Souza’s attitude towards the game was simple.
Dragging the game to the bottom somehow.
It would be nice to be able to put a counter tackle on the bat, but it won’t be easy considering the speed of the car.
If that’s the case, even if it takes one hit, somehow grab the body and crumple it into the cage.
No matter how hard the blow, it won’t be easy to overcome the 10kg difference in weight.
Ground ground, that’s all I’m thinking about.
Beep-.
As soon as the match started, Mugyeol placed both arms low and approached slowly.
‘A tackling stance?’
Leandro Souza tilted his head and circled Mugyeol.
Wrestling? Or are you going to do jiu-jitsu?
Leandro was a bit embarrassed by his attitude because he expected Mugyeol to win the match with a blow.
But soon a smile crept across his lips.
‘The provocation worked!’
It was good that he provoked him with Jiu-Jitsu at the press conference.
According to Leandro’s analysis, Mugyeol Cha was like a tree frog.
Always going against mainstream predictions, it has built a reputation for exceeding people’s expectations.
look at it now
You said, ‘You can’t win with jiu-jitsu?’, so to say that you’re betting on a match with jiu-jitsu.
In any case, it was good for Leandro.
For six weeks, I only studied how to go to the ground, but my opponent responded to the ground game first.
[Cha Mu-gyeol adjusts the distance with both arms lowered!! Even if you get a little closer, the kick is within range, but it doesn’t go in easily!! Cha Moo-gyeol doesn’t rush into hitting!!]
[There were predictions that the game would focus on striking, but Cha Moo-gyeol seems to be thinking of grappling!! I guess we’ll have to wait and see if it’s a good choice!!]
“Perfect! car flawless! what are you doing!”
Even Joel Khalid, who was in the flawless corner, raised his voice as if he was embarrassed when he saw the stance.
It was Leandro who was convinced by seeing that figure.
‘This guy doesn’t listen to the coaching staff and runs out of control!’
Moogyeol lowered his stance and threw himself as if to tackle him.
In line with that movement, Leandro also responded to the grappling fight by lowering his head.
The moment the two bodies touch each other, it is the realm of clinch wrestling.
The side with the better position will land a takedown and gain an edge in a jiu-jitsu fight.
‘Let’s lower the head!’
It was the moment when Leandro lowered his head as far as possible to create a more advantageous position.
Jjak-.
With the sound of thunder ringing in his ears, Leandro’s vision went black.
* * *
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Within 19 seconds of the first round, the referee intervened between the two fighters, and huge cheers erupted soon after.
Cha Moo-gyeol raised his right hand with a face that was not even sweaty.
Leandro Souza was stretched out on the canvas, unconscious.
[One room–!! It’s over in one room Ahhhh- !! Cha Mu-gyeol wins the heavyweight debut match with just one blow–!!]
[It was a huge blow!! You must see this again!! It was an incredibly agile move!!]
There was a sound like a skull being split, but most of the audience couldn’t tell what kind of blow Mugyeol had dealt.
“Was it a low uppercut?”
“No, it must have been an elbow.”
The replay video confirmed the correct answer while the debate continued.
After throwing the body forward as if throwing a tackle with the arms lowered.
Leandro caught on to the move and pulled his body back up with tremendous core strength, lifting his lower body.
Then, a knee kick with tremendous destructive power flew towards Leandro’s chin.
Leandro, who was preparing for the ground game with his head down, fainted after being hit by a kick like this in a car accident.
Jiu-Jitsu, everything was over with just one kick.
“wow! Fuck flawless! you are really crazy! How much more are you going to embarrass me-!?”
Flawless cornerman Joel Khalid was screaming in a near-frenzy.
It was only natural that he was excited.
Because when he taught what he thought was the right answer, he always surprised Khalid with an answer that was superior to that.
Mugyeol, who had been powering up for six months, didn’t need a kick.
The Octagon announcer, who came up for the interview, was also very excited.
“Wow Cha Moo-gyeol! It was a piece of art! There were many people who predicted Cha Moo-gyeol’s struggle this time, but with just one knee kick, all the negative predictions were put to rest! Was this pattern practiced beforehand?”
“no. My coach and teammates must have been amazed. We prepared an operation that is wary of counter tackles, but I thought there must be a better way.”
“This one room seems to say a lot! Are you ready to compete in the heavyweight division now?”
“To be honest, I don’t think I have 100% power yet. Today, I got a one-shot KO because I pulled in my opponent and kicked him, but if I had exchanged blows while standing, it would have turned out differently.”
A humble interview, but the conclusion made everyone tremble in fear.
“But I am still evolving. Preparing for the heavyweight championship, I felt that I could still become stronger.”
“He’s already strong enough to rise to the ranks of GOAT, but it seems he’s still thinking about rising!”
“yes.”
Moogyeol said while looking around at the heavyweight fighters sitting in the VIP seats.
“My prime hasn’t come yet.”
Even the heavyweight fighters, who had been watching the match with unconcerned expressions, had to swallow their saliva at those words.
* * *
What if you paid a lot of money to buy tickets, but the main event ended in 20 seconds?
Some might say ‘it’s not worth the money’.
However, no one who watches Cha Moo-gyeol’s match says that it is not a waste of money.
One match without a match gives more thrilling fun than 10 matches played by a mediocre player.
PPV sales of WFC 516 were 3.6 million copies.
Dave White was happy with this sales alone, but what was even better was that Moogyeol Cha finished the game without any injuries.
“No, I didn’t know that I would be able to kill a second at the heavyweight division. How far are you going to become stronger!?”
Finishing the match without damage also meant that I could have the next match quickly.
Besides, Cha Mu-gyeol was also a player who didn’t like to rest very much.
There was a light bruise on the knee from the knee kick, but the injury was completely healed in two weeks.
Not only the destructive power but also the durability was a post-human level car flawless.
As soon as the injury recovered, Mugyeol began training for the match, and in line with this, the WFC also prepared for the next opponent.
Starting from 13th place, towards the higher rankings.
Mugyeol had no intention of skipping to the upper ranks or the championship match.
Just like plowing a field with a plow, he plows down all the strong players in his weight class.
It is to beat up all opponents of all styles so that there is not even a stain the size of a fingernail left.
That was Cha Mu-gyeol’s plan to face the heavyweight division.
When the 13th place collapsed, this time the player who was one step above him began to open his mouth.
[I watched a very poor game. Now I’m going to send you to Allah’s side. I’ll hit that little cob with a golf club.]
Heavyweight No. 11 Yuri Kuzaev.
Mugyeol met his provocation without hesitation.
[Sorry, who are you?]
