章節 25: 25 Bonus Maker: Retired From The Competition
[In the Eye of the Storm]
Amid the buzz of the crowd, Ye Chen stood tall, once again basking in the electrifying aftermath of his latest victory. The voice of the commentator ringing in his ears felt like a familiar melody. This time, he had delivered a decisive KO on Bobby Green that sent shockwaves throughout the arena.
Strangely enough, Ye Chen wasn't flustered this time. Unlike his previous two bouts, this victory felt almost routine. Perhaps he was becoming accustomed to the thrill of the fight—or maybe it was just that he had grown to expect his own success.
But there it was, a nagging question in his mind: was the KO timing accurate? Ye Chen quickly reviewed the details. He believed it had been two minutes, but as he processed the moment, it dawned on him that it had really only spanned a handful of brutal, beautifully executed combos. Ten, maybe twenty seconds at best. If only Bobby Green hadn't rushed so fast, he mused, the end could have come even sooner.
**[The Spotlight]**
Once again, it was time for the post-fight interview. "Little Fatty" DC approached with a look that hinted he may have wagered on Bobby Green. Yet, professionalism reigned as DC plastered a smile on his face before addressing the camera.
"My God, Ye Chen! You've once more left the American audience awestruck and the global fighting community buzzing! Three consecutive victories all wrapped up in the first round within just five and a half months! What do you have to say about tonight's match?"
DC extended the microphone, and Ye Chen knew exactly what he wanted to convey. With a slight smirk, he responded, "I aim to bring exhilarating matches to the fans, but honestly, I no longer find joy in these victories. Look at him…" He gestured towards the still-concussed Bobby Green, basking in the playful taunt.
There was a hint of provocation, but why hold back? "Let's be real, tonight was child's play. I had to pace myself because I knew from the moment I was matched against Bobby that he wouldn't last beyond the first round. Now, having notched up three wins in a row, it's time I faced some ranked fighters. As a top-tier competitor, I need the challenge of the top 15 to truly test my skills."
Yes, Ye Chen's bravado was audacious, but the evidence couldn't be dismissed. The fighters outside the rankings were clearly no match for him. It was entertaining, yes, but one couldn't overlook how he effortlessly overpowered Bobby Green. The audience exploded with cheers, their voices ringing loud as they rallied behind Ye Chen's dominance. Their excitement signified something important: he had proven himself worthy of a ranking.
**[The Aftermath]**
There was a mix of glances and whispers among the crowd. "What a letdown, Bobby Green made me lose money!" someone scoffed.
"Seriously, he should have stayed home. He made a mockery of standing fighters," another lamented.
"Lose to a few jabs and he runs like he's training for a marathon. Disgrace!"
Amid the light-hearted derision, Ye Chen couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all. "This guy must have a speedier exit plan than I've ever seen," someone said, sending the audience into a fit of laughter.
Yet, amidst the town of jests, there was a palpable respect for Ye Chen's undeniable talent. "Did you see his dodges? Pure artistry! Just look at how he crafts every punch," one fan exclaimed. "He might just be the one to watch out for."
Indeed, Ye Chen reverberated throughout the fighting world with this performance, causing ripples that could very well lead to his stardom. Clips of him dominating Bobby Green would soon circulate, finding a way to entertain, dissect, and even become a viral sensation. But, it didn't matter to him; all he craved was the attention that came with it. The bigger his fan base grew, the more lucrative prospects would come knocking without him having to lift a finger.
Of course, comparisons to legends were inevitable. Diamond may have set standards nearly unreachable, but Ye Chen had aspirations of carving out his own place in MMA history. He dreamt of a day when he could stand shoulder to shoulder with the giants, but for now, he was content being on the ascent.
**[An Unexpected Turn]**
Freshly showered and clad in his spare clothes, Ye Chen stepped out of the locker room, only to be met with an unexpected ruckus. It turned out that his evening might take another intriguing twist. Whispers began to swirl about Dan Hooker, the scheduled fighter for the next bout, who had suffered an unfortunate—and rather funny—accident. He'd tripped over a loose wire, leaving him utterly incapacitated.
As the medical staff carried Dan Hooker past him, Ye Chen couldn't suppress a growing curiosity. What if this could lead to an unexpected opportunity?
This was the world of fighting—a realm where chaos often inspired opportunity. And Ye Chen was more than ready to seize whatever came his way next.
