On December 17, "ONE: Winter God of War II" beat the war drums, and China's senior "King Kong X-Men" Fan Rong returned to the field after a year to meet the former middleweight world champion Vitaly Bidhas at a negotiated weight of 95 kg.
In "ONE: Lion City Arena III" last November, Fan Rong defeated two-time ADCC world champion Yuri Simmons with excellent anti-fall technique and heavy punches, winning two consecutive victories in the cage. Due to the lack of excellent large-level sparring in China, Fan Rong came to Dubai to strengthen himself and joined the Team Nogueira Dubai team founded by the famous world champion "Minotaur" Nogueira Brothers for overseas special training.
After returning to China, due to the repeated epidemic in Harbin, Fan Rong's training was affected again. At this time, he received an invitation to play and learned that he had the opportunity to play Vitaly Bidhas. Vitali from Russia has a record of 10 wins and 2 losses, including nine games. The performance of 5 surrenders and 4 KO games also proved the comprehensiveness of his technique. In October 2015, with a record of seven wins, Vitali showed his all-round technique in his round cage debut, and in the second round, he won the middle-class gold belt with knee collisions and heavy punches TKO former world champion Igor Shry in the second round. In January 2017, Vitaly defeated "Burmese Python" Anra Ensan in five legs in his first defending title. Although 5 months later, AngLa Ensan took revenge on Vitaly by judging points and took away the gold belt. But given Angla Ensan's home side, Vitali was not convinced by the defeat.
Being able to play a one-win, one-loss record with Angla Ensan is enough to prove Vitali's strength. Fan Rong knew the strength of his opponent, but was not ready to back down. "The opponent is a former champion, technically very well-rounded, especially the ground is very strong, and I also want to touch the boxer who has taken the championship gold belt to see how strong he really is." Before the game, I strengthened some of my ability to prevent falls and wrestling, and although the preparation time was not long, I believed that as long as I played at the level of usual training, I could win the game. I still have an advantage in terms of physical fitness, that is, I have not played for a long time, and I hope to get into the state as soon as possible. ”
Because of some special reasons, Fan Rong encountered unprecedented difficulties in preparing for the war - the time was particularly tight. "This time I received an invitation to participate 20 days before the competition, and I was unable to train normally because of the epidemic in Harbin, and I suddenly received news of the competition, and there was also pressure." Despite leaving me little time to prepare and lose weight, I gritted my teeth and took the race. I haven't played in a year, I don't know when I'm going to wait, I don't want to wait any longer. ”
Vitali's last game was in 2018, and he has been battling injuries for three years away from the field, and it is unknown what kind of form he will play when he returns to the ring. Fan Rong: "This must be an uphill battle, but I am fearless, I will go all out, 100% to fight, whether it is surrender or KO, I will not give up any opportunity to end the opponent." I'll fight hard, fight him hard, and see who's stronger. If I can win this match, my next goal is to fight a revenge battle with the current champion Riddle! ”
Do you think Fan Rong can beat the former world champion?
