"Steppe Wolf" Zhang Tiequan is recognized as the first person in China's UFC, and Li Jingliang, the most brilliant Chinese boxer in the UFC at present, is Zhang Tiequan's apprentice, and the "Northeast Tiger" crown is also Zhang Tiequan's disciple. As early as 6 years ago, Zhang Tiequan won the first victory in the history of the UFC of a Chinese player with the guillotine 48 second KO veteran Renn Hart, and after three years of silence, Zhang Tiequan announced that he was ready to make a comeback!
Zhang Tiequan's breakthrough significance in the UFC is equivalent to Yao Ming's contribution in the NBA, due to injuries and other reasons, the Steppenwolves have faded out of the game for a long time, and the creation of the Boxing Club focuses on cultivating MMA talents. Now, with the UFC urgently needing Chinese players to join, Zhang Tiequan has publicly expressed his desire for a comeback: "I really want to come back, but I haven't trained systematically for a long time, first of all, I have to reduce my weight to less than 80 kilograms." ”
The free-fighting martial arts monk Yilong and the gold medal boxing champion Zou Shiming in boxing have high popularity, Yilong starred in the Hollywood blockbuster "Captain America", and Zou Shiming appeared in another American movie "Transformers". In contrast, domestic UFC players do not have stars like Yilong and Zou Shiming, not because they do not have strength, but because they are not good at packaging publicity.
Zhang Tiequan is a leading figure in China's MMA, with great appeal in the circle, if he hires a top packaging team, the UFC competition is bound to accumulate popularity in the short term, thus surpassing Yilong and Zou Shiming in terms of appearance fees and influence. The 36-year-old Zhang Tiequan is no longer young, but MMA pays more attention to technology, and there are many 40-year-old celebrities who are still very competitive, so let us look forward to the return of Zhang Tiequan and re-shock the UFC.
