"Bang!" Gage knocked Ye Chen away, quickly moving sideways against the cage net. He didn't forget to scan Ye Chen's low strike when he left. The low sweep was so close that Ye Chen almost fell down.
The move not only blocked Ye Chen's interception speed but also made him feel severe pain in his legs. His steps were no longer as nimble and quick as before. Of course, there are also reasons for decreased physical strength. High-intensity fighting will not only make you tired, but every time you suffer a heavy blow, your breathing rhythm will also change, affecting your physical fitness.
After Gage escaped, he ran around the cage to regain his breathing and rhythm. The confrontation just now was a bit too much for him. Take your time, or you'll lose.
Coach Whitman looked at Gage, whose face was covered in blood, and was going crazy at this moment, yelling at the top of his lungs. Ye Chen's face was clean, but his chest was full of blood, all caused by Gage's struggle with him.
At this moment, Ye Chen looked like an unknown creature that had been swept by Gage's heavy leg more than a dozen times, but was still oppressed step by step. It felt like a horror movie.
The people in the audience were suffocated watching this.
Gage held his breath and exerted his strength, giving a big show to those who caught up, hoping to win a prize. However, this method didn't work on Ye Chen. Ye Chen leaned back to avoid the punch and immediately gave a backhand attack.
Gage was beaten so hard that his bracers flew off. Ye Chen wanted to take advantage of the situation and pursue him.
However, He Bo shouted, "Stop!" immediately afterwards, and Ji appeared to stop Ye Chen's attack. This is normal – the boxer's bracers fall off, and the match must be suspended and the bracers put back on before the fight can continue.
The nervous audience suddenly burst into boos because everyone could see that Gage was dying at that moment.
Ye Chen's backhand straight punch hit him directly in the face. The moment He Bo handed him his bracers, Gage staggered – fortunately, he supported himself with He Bo beside him and didn't fall down.
As they watched the game, DC exclaimed, "Crazy! What a pity! If the bracers hadn't been knocked off just now, the consequences would be unimaginable." Logan added, "Gage may take advantage of this wave to slow down. Look at the time – it's only been one minute and forty seconds of the first round, and Ye Chen has already thrown ninety-six punches."
Gage slashed his legs with low sweeps fourteen times – this was a completely lifeless style. When he put on his bracers again, he recovered a little from his previous state. The crowd erupted into boos and cheers mixed together.
The fight between these two players was really exciting. So many people automatically brought it to themselves and seemed very excited at the moment...
...Backstage...
Maha and Khabib were waiting in the preparation room with their team. They saw this explosive game unfold before them. Makhachev, who was warming up before the game, couldn't help but stop what he was doing.
Khabib shook his head and said, "Gage's biggest enemy is still his mentality. Once he gets hit too many times, he will panic. It was the same with me and the same with Oliveira."
He gazed deeply at Ye Chen on the court, who was pressing forward again. "This person is indeed very strong – it's hard to imagine that such a person was actually a sparring partner before. His skills should not be developed by a sparring partner."
Maha nodded at this moment and felt a little stressed out by Ye Chen's combat power.
Combat power strikes...
He felt that it would be very difficult to deal with Ye Chen if they fought – it would still be a fight on the ground.
...However...
This Ye Chen's style of play has changed too much. Why didn't he choose the tactics against Chandler this time? Why did he fight with Gage?
His leg should be very serious now – if he scans it a few more times, he will probably lose the game or even be stopped by the doctor.
As they watched over a minute of playtime unfold...
It is precisely Ye Chen who has been pressing and attacking, with no intention of knocking down Gage.
This was far from the tactics they predicted – they even predicted Gage's low-sweeping leg tactic correctly.
Such a potential opponent is really a headache – it's completely impossible to predict his next tactic...
...Another low sweep...
However, this time is different...
The moment Ye Chen stepped out with Gage again, he suddenly raised his calf and twisted his knee – this one cuts the leg.
It struck Ye Chen firmly on his raised knee.
As everyone knows...
The hardest parts of the human body are the forehead, kneecaps, elbows...
Gage used the instep and tibia of his calf to stiffen Ye Chen's kneecap – the result was predictable.
Gage instantly lost his balance – a look of pain appeared on his face as he dragged his right leg back in panic.
