The latest news from the UFC of the U.S. mixed martial arts event, originally scheduled to be held in Las Vegas, the United States on September 11, 2022, Beijing time, after the large-scale brawl incident, there will be another accident. The matching table of the entire tournament has changed dramatically, including the opponent of China's Li Jingliang, who will play Against Daniel Rodriguez in the UFC 279 tournament on September 11 as the main boxer.

Such a grouping of matches is very confusing, although the head of the UFC before the game, Bai Dana, explained that the reason for changing the match table was because Chimayev weighed 178.5 pounds, which exceeded the middleweight limit of 7.5 pounds, but it had nothing to do with the brawl the day before the weighing, and the author absolutely did not believe it.

As a result, Lee jingliang became a victim of the change in the match against the match, he missed the "night devil" Tony Ferguson's double demon battle (Li Jingliang's nickname is the vampire demon), but also had to fight against Rodriguez, who weighed 8.5 pounds heavier than himself, such a game Li Jingliang had little chance of winning.

In the author's impression, such a mature world-class event as the UFC has never had such a history of changing the match table before, and for the participants in the previous fight, the UFC not only did not punish, but all remained on the list of matches, which is also surprising. Is it that in order to ensure that the attendance rate continues to earn money, the UFC no longer cares about its own face?

For changing the match table, the head of the UFC, Bai Dana, did not explain too much, but said that he had communicated with the medical supervisor before the game and thought that such a match was more suitable, and the author did not understand why Li Jingliang should pay for the weight loss failure of others. Shouldn't there be a deduction or a ban?

In any case, the current battle table can not be modified, Li Jingliang can only prepare new tactics overnight when all the previous preparations are invalid. For tomorrow's game, the author hopes that everyone can treat it rationally, the opponent is much heavier than Li Jingliang, this weight gap is very fatal in the UFC such a high-level competition, it can be said that it is simply breaking the rules. I also hope that Li Jingliang can cope with a normal heart, do not pay too much attention to the victory or defeat of this game, and play his own training level.
