UFC279, which was originally scheduled for September 11, Beijing time, has been temporarily changed! The outside world is very concerned, because there is a "two-demon battle", China's "vampire" Li Jingliang vs . " Night Devil" Ferguson, but now this duel has been lost, Li Jingliang was forced to change opponents, from Ferguson to 8.5 pounds heavier than himself Rodriguez.
The cause of this incident was that Chimayev was overweight, so the UFC temporarily changed the Sunday match match, and Bethan announced the latest match, so the people involved in the battle stayed on the match list, but the opponents of the game changed. Combining three new battles in one day at the same time is also the first time in UFC history that this is as follows:
Headlines: Diaz vs Ferguson
Joint Home: Chimayev vs Holland
Main: Li Jingliang vs Rodriguez
This rearrangement is very unfair to Li Jingliang, first of all, he has been preparing for the "Night Devil" Ferguson during this time, and the expectations of the outside world for this game have long been full. But what I didn't expect was that because of Chimaev's overweight, the match situation in the game was temporarily re-dispersed, which was also very disappointing.
And the most critical thing is that in the new match, Li Jingliang's opponent Rodriguez weighs 179 pounds, Li Jingliang is 170.5 pounds, and the gap between the two sides is 8.5 pounds, which is 7.7 pounds, so many people say that Li Jingliang and Rodriguez are at a disadvantage and unfair, but he still resolutely took over this game.
From the outside public opinion, it can be seen that everyone's criticism of Bai Dana and Chimayev is the most, first of all, Chimayev, who is considered to be overweight and qualified to play, which is obviously breaking the rules, but the UFC is still strong, very obvious eccentricity. Bai Dana was angrily reprimanded, saying that he was too bullying, and after changing his opponent, Li Jingliang was obviously at a disadvantage.
Li Jingliang's mentality is still very good, in the pre-match interview, Li Jingliang said, "No matter who the opponent is, let it go!" "I also hope that the next Li Jingliang can have good luck and strive to defeat Rodriguez."
