Chapter 283 - 258: Fame and Fortune, Can’t Help but Admire

Chapter 283: Chapter 258: Fame and Fortune, Can’t Help but Admire"Fight with Silvar?" Wu was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Silvar, a legendary figure in the UFC, was considered the best MMA athlete in the world by the authoritative fighting website Sherdog!

He was the unrivaled champion of the middleweight class, having dominated the UFC middleweight division for seven years, successfully defending his title ten times! (Note 1)

Such a legendary figure, even if Wu didn’t know much about the UFC, he had heard of the other party’s fame.

"Yes!"

Just mentioning Silvar’s name got Song Yidong excited because he was his idol, "But I’ve also heard that Silvar is actually very proud and conceited; he doesn’t easily spar with others in private, let alone a woman. If Li Tongyun hadn’t been highly praised by sister Li, I actually wouldn’t have believed it."

"So what is this Li Tongyun doing now?" Wu was a bit interested.

Song Yidong shook his head: "I’m not sure either, but when I was chatting with sister Li before, she mentioned that Li Tongyun had helped analyze a fight for Blood Demon Flosen. Oh right, she also practices Traditional Martial Arts, and she highly values it. After sister Li successfully defended her title and returned home, she visited some Traditional Martial Arts masters. The fact that she’s learning Long Arm Fist now is actually influenced by Li Tongyun."

Hearing this, Wu decided to pay this person a visit. Someone who could help Zhang Weili clinch the championship, spar with Silvar and even be invited by him to become a fighting coach, and signed with Blood Demon Flosen – such a person’s level could be guessed.

"Could you ask for Li Tongyun’s contact information for me? I’d like to meet this person," Wu said to Song Yidong.

Song Yidong nodded: "No problem, I’ll ask sister Li for it later. But hey, this person is quite strange, usually only signing for one fight and never a long-term contract. After sister Li won the championship, she sought her out many times, hoping to sign a long-term deal, but she was turned down."

Wu nodded. Since the other party also practiced Traditional Martial Arts, they should have common topics to discuss and he might have a chance to persuade her to sign a two-year contract with him.

As long as he secured a strategy coach for fight analysis, there would be no need for him to sign with William.

Thinking of this, Wu felt much better and took the initiative to raise his glass for a toast.

Chen Gang, who was sitting nearby, suddenly spoke up, "Wu’s main focus next will be preparing for his first fight, and the next issue of ’Seeking Martial Arts’ might feature a lot of UFC-related content. Could we also interview Song Yidong?"

Qian Lichuan was delighted by the words and quickly toasted Chen Gang: "Absolutely, of course, we can, thank you Director Chen, cheers to you!"

Song Yidong also raised his glass to Chen Gang to express his thanks.

With the current popularity of ’Seeking Martial Arts,’ just showing up on camera could lead to a huge amount of attention, not to mention Song Yidong already had a modest reputation and was a contracted UFC fighter. This was definitely a good thing for Song Yidong.

What does the UFC rely on to make money? Obviously, it depends on the fans’ support. The more viewers who enjoy watching a fighter’s matches, the higher his value becomes. Now with Dana White paying so much attention to the Hua Country market, as long as Song Yidong’s popularity in Hua Country increases, his appearance fee would naturally skyrocket.

This meal was worth it!

Qian Lichuan’s expression was excited, and he kept toasting, drinking heartily: "Help yourselves, folks, I’m all in!"

Wu smiled at Chen Gang, knowing he had done him a favor.

"Do you use Weibo, Brother Dong?" asked Wu.

Song Yidong nodded: "I have an account."

"How about we post a video?" Wu suggested.

Song Yidong paused for a moment before laughing, "Sure, why not."

Qian Lichuan’s face already brightened with a smile.

"Wu, I toast you. Your performance during that terrorist attack was nothing short of macho, I’m impressed!"

Song Yidong stood up and toasted Wu personally.

Qian Lichuan looked at Song Yidong in surprise and then raised his glass to Chen Gang, joining in the toast.

And so, the atmosphere in the room became completely jovial...

The next day, the Weibo short video of Wu and Song Yidong drinking together hit the Weibo hot spot list, and it even made it onto the Weibo hot

And all this, just because he had dinner with Wu, who happened to post a video afterwards.

"Brother Qian, I understand," Song Yidong nodded.

Last night, when Wu called him ’Brother Dong’ during their dinner, he felt a bit smug, thinking that the difference between them wasn’t that big after all.

But in just one day, he had come to deeply appreciate the fame and fortune embodied by Wu.

He had no choice but to acknowledge it.

Note 1: Silvar, in reality, is Anderson Silva, who is now 45 years old and has fallen from the throne. But in this book, he remains in his prime as Legendary Spider. For those interested, you can check out his matches—just one word: sensational!
