Chapter 386 - 353: Stirring Up Trouble, Cloud Movement in All Directions
In the room, Dana White said to Victor, "I need to consider this matter seriously."
Victor frowned slightly, "I hope you can give me an answer soon."
After speaking, he stood up and left the room.
Dana White didn’t mind the rudeness and sat on the sofa, lost in thought.
The success of the Yanhuang Technique had made him feel threatened. Competitive sports inherently had regional advantages, and Hua Country’s audience obviously preferred to see their local fighters. Moreover, the fact that many used Hua Country’s Kung Fu in the Yanhuang Technique would easily endear them to the Hua Country’s audience.
Wu Li had now successfully opened up Hua Country’s fighting market with the Yanhuang Technique. UFC had to worry not only about competing for the market but also about the potential future threat to its own status.
Though the Yanhuang Technique had just started, the most immediate concern was ONE, also in Asia. It would take the success of Yanhuang Technique wresting the Asian market from ONE before attempting to challenge UFC’s status.
However, Dana White was always cautious; he preferred to nip threats in the bud. Thus, organizing the Combat World Cup at this moment seemed perfect.
Simply put, the Combat World Cup was a global fighting event conducted under the representation of different countries.
If he could successfully hold such a grand tournament and garner widespread international participation, it would immensely promote the sport of fighting!
As UFC was currently the highest-level Mixed Martial Arts event globally, including fighters from around the world, having these fighters in the teams participating in the Combat World Cup, especially the American Team which would entirely comprise UFC fighters, would solidify UFC’s position as the foremost fighting event in the minds of audiences worldwide once crowned champions!
