Last weekend, in the Glory 68 tournament that ended in Miami, Brazilian glory middleweight champion Alex Pereira was promoted to fight, and Dongi Abena, who ranked second in the ko light heavyweight in the third round, managed to capture the glory light heavyweight temporary belt.
While foreign martial arts fans are celebrating The Brazilian Pereira's achievements as a double, discussing who the winner will be between Pereira and official champion Russian Atim Vaktief, one person in the crowd is crazy...
This man was Simon Marcus, who had been conveniently ko by the Grim Reaper, and Marcus openly provoked: "Glory can give me less money, you have to wait for me to come back and kill this man!" ”
Why did Marcus hate Pereira so much?
It all started after Marcus was conveniently ko.
Marcus, who was once lawless in the Chinese boxing world, was cleaned up by a convenient meal, which made Marcus seriously aware of his shortcomings as a Muay Thai fighter.
After all, the performance of four knockouts in two rounds really made Marcus a little faceless to face the North American father.
After losing to Convenience, Marcus began to practice boxing hard, and Marcus, who returned to Europe, improved rapidly, killing all four sides in the glory ring.
First won the glory four-man championship, and then won the glory middleweight world championship twice, becoming the middleweight overlord for a time.
In October 2017, Glory hosted the tournament in China for the first time, and in order to be able to make the first stop in China, Glory racked his brains in the match, and did not hesitate to send his own tournament signature glory heavyweight champion Rico Van Hoeven.
However, the heavyweight championship showdown in Europe is less popular in China, and Chinese boxing fans are not so interested in the king of kickboxing.
At this time, Glory remembered Marcus, who had made waves in Chinese martial arts, so Marcus was sent to the front line of Glory 46 Guangzhou, where he would defend his "half home" midweight gold belt.
Marcus's challenger was none other than Pereira, who was unknown at the time.
Considering that Pereira has twice defeated the "Black Dragon" Adi Saya in the Glory Ring of the Warriors, and is also an old friend of half a Chinese, this middleweight championship battle in China has suddenly become full of highlights.
However, Marcus was once again knocked down on Chinese soil.
Boxer-turned-Pereira has an iron fist as accurate and lethal as a rifle rifling, and with the ultimate desire for a world championship, Pereira abandons defense and uses what he has learned in his life without reservation.
Witnessed by Chinese audiences, Pereira punched Marcus's ruling dynasty to pieces and disintegrated.
The belt changed hands, the dog counterattacked, and Pereira worked hard to become the glory middleweight world champion as desired.
However, in his "half home" lost so badly, Marcus's fiery temper is naturally ten thousand disobedience.
In Glory 52 Los Angeles with a heavy punch in one round ko American unbeaten rising star Zach Wells, once again defeated former Dutch champion Jason Venice.
Marcus's confidence soared, and he began to believe in his old fist again.
So Marcus again applied to the organization for a rematch with Pereira.
However, Marcus's touching punching skills in the second battle were really incomparable in front of former boxer Pereira.
Under the pressure of Pereira's step by step, Marcus was finally defeated, and after five rounds of fierce fighting, Pereira once again defeated Marcus's defending champion.
After losing to Pereira for the second time, Marcus hasn't played again in more than a year.
Seeing his old rival Pereira defending his title four times, he was lonely in the middleweight and even went to the light heavyweight to break out of the world and create a double crown.
As a witness to all this, Marcus's heart is naturally full of mixed feelings.
I can't help but think of the arrogant Marcus who was once in the Chinese martial arts, the one-man wheel battle Chinese sanda champion, pulling up a banner to challenge the dragon king Hongxiang, arrogant but no one to fight, and even made the Chinese martial arts once talk about Marcus discolored.
Until the "Grim Reaper" conveniently stepped forward.
The ending after that is known to everyone.
Marcus played the worst and most complete game he lost.
Convenience shattered Marcus's arrogance and arrogance, and Pereira took everything from Marcus.
History is so similar.
As a witness to all this, how could Marcus not feel the loss of the collapse of the dynasty?
People don't talk about Simon Marcus anymore, and the middle-class demon era is a thing of the past.
