Li Jingliang was decisively determined to lose to Rodriguez in UFC 279, which caused great controversy before and after the game. Before the game, because of Chimayev's overweight, six players in three games were temporarily reorganized, and Li Jingliang became the one who suffered the most because his opponent changed from Ferguson to Rodriguez who weighed more than himself. During the game, Li Jingliang had the advantage, and even , White Dana said that he should be the one who won. As a result, the three referees decided that Rodriguez won, which was hotly discussed.
later rumored online that Li Jingliang would not suffer any loss, because he temporarily accepted this unfair "protocol-level" competition, and UFC also gave him extra sky-high rewards. But now the news has been denied. Li Jingliang said that this is not the case at all. It was just that Bai Da called himself and said there would be a reward, which was that he owed him a joint main match, but he never mentioned the information such as time and place, which was equivalent to making Li Jingliang accept it. He was not giving money, but giving a blank check.
By September 16, Li Jingliang spoke up again on social media. He recorded a video to seek opportunities for himself and also expressed injustice. In the video, Li Jingliang said that Rodriguez won the contract for the new 5 games due to the changes in the game, and there is an additional bonus. Holland also temporarily accepted the game from Chimayev, and he also received the bonus of the game and had the chance to challenge the top 10 players. Little Madiaz also received the corresponding reward, but he also accepted the temporary changes in the game, but there was no reward.
Li Jingliang said that he had officially made a request to Dana Bai: "To get what I deserve, I asked him that if my body allows, I also want to make the headline main competition or the joint headline main competition and the digital competition. I also chose to challenge the top 10 players. I will not be silent. This is what I deserve as a professional athlete."
It is obvious that Li Jingliang encountered unfair treatment before and after the game. This was analyzed many times by both Chinese and foreign netizens and bloggers, but the results were indeed disappointing. The opponents all got better opportunities or extra generous money due to temporary changes in the game, but only Li Jingliang did not. He only got a "blank check" from Bai Dana, and it is unknown when it will be cashed. Therefore, it is not too much for Li Jingliang to make his own request to Dana Bai, and this is indeed what he deserves.
For Li Jingliang, the unfairness he encountered was not only reflected in his loss, but was preparing for the "Night Devil" Ferguson in the United States for more than 4 months, but he changed his opponent the day before the game. Moreover, from Chimayev's remarks after the game, it can be seen that he had known that he would not play Xiaoma when he was overweight, which means he had known that his opponent would change. Only Li Jingliang received the news before the game, and replaced it with an opponent who was more heavy than him. The opponent could not play overweight, but Li Jingliang accepted it.
Of course, this game has become a thing of the past. I also hope that Li Jingliang's voice can allow him to get what he deserves, the headline main competition or the joint headline main competition and the digital competition. I hope that UFC's White Dana fulfills his promise.
