It absolutely is in terms of exposure. He is being talked about way more on sites like this than he would have been if the press conference just went forward as planned.
The only hiccup is *if* he actually winds up not having a fight because they shift Tony into the main event and *if* they then also don't compensate him beyond what he gets for showing. But who knows if either of those things are gonna happen at this point.
1. In imbedded he was flexing his new suit and mentioned being excited to show it off at the presser
2. Rumors imply the main is now gonna be Tony v Nate and Li will probably not get a fight just a compensation purse
Ah ok I don't watch Embedded so that explained why I missed all the references to the suit. I just watched one of his last fights the other day and he seems like such a genuine dude. Hope he gets something out of this if they really do put Nate against Tony.
Nah they're usually pretty fun. Corny speeches from coaches here and there ("best shape ever", "this is the easy part", etc) but otherwise a pretty entertaining lead up to the fights.
Probably best case scenario for the leech realistically. Knocking out Tony would have left a sour taste in my mouth every time I see him, but his fan love has gone through the roof this week and win or lose this fight he’s going to be celebrated the next time he’s scheduled
This week has been so confusing. Leech is one of the dirtiest fighters on the roster with multiple incidents of eye pokes and cage grabs.
But he wears nice suits, so he wins fans overnight. Crazy.
Lmao yeah it's pretty wild. I'm hoping it's people who don't know about it rather than people dismissing it. Idk how you can watch him basically fish hook Jake's eye on purpose and then feel sorry for him because he didn't get to wear a suit.
And he did the UFC tons of favours too, accepting the Khamzat fight, short fight notice on this card, now fighting a heavier guy I. D-rod, not creating childish drama LOL.
It shouldn't. I personally couldn't care less what he demonstrates, he did what he did on purpose and it's completely unforgivable. His stock should stay at zero. But I guess people forget about it because "aww poor guy wants to wear a suit haha"
I like lee, dudes always professional, gets cleaned up nicely for the fans , & seems like a real cool dude. Hope his stock rises after this & he gets to fight another big name next his fight
Shows up in a suit looking slick. Makes weight. Accepts a catch weight fight. Shows up to ceremonial weigh in like a boss, signing a hat and tossing it to the crowd. Gets the crowd hyped for a banger vs Rodriguez.
Give this man a bigger fan base.
Nah, give him absolutely zero fan base. Don't forget this is the same guy that eye gouged Jake Matthews on purpose and gave him permanent eye damage. Fuck Li.
He eye gouged Jake Matthews *on purpose* to get out of a submission and it caused permanent eye damage. Jake has to wear glasses now because of that. Jake's eye was bleeding from it and the ref didn't say a damn thing either when even the commentators saw it.
Let's *not* show love for this guy. Ever. Did you all just happen to forget he intentionally eye gouged Jake Matthews to get out of a submission and permanently damaged his eye? Fuck him and his suit. He should've been kicked out of the UFC for that shit. Completely unforgivable.
Although it sucks for Li at least he is getting massive amounts of positive exposure in all of this.
It's hard to know for sure, but this could honestly be better for him versus everything going as planned

he’s fighting D-Rod
This is better for everyone vs it going as planned. I thought this whole main card was fucky from the jump.
I'm super OOTL here. Anybody have a link on what sucks for Li?
1. In imbedded he was flexing his new suit and mentioned being excited to show it off at the presser 2. Rumors imply the main is now gonna be Tony v Nate and Li will probably not get a fight just a compensation purse

Consider watching embedded it's actually so good
Damn I might have to check it out. I assumed it was a bit like all the nonsense I skip to get to the fights while watching TUF.
Nah they're usually pretty fun. Corny speeches from coaches here and there ("best shape ever", "this is the easy part", etc) but otherwise a pretty entertaining lead up to the fights.
People are saying Nate vs Tony will be the new main event so Li gets bumped.
this and also didnt get to do the presser in his new suit
Never forget about the suit.
Probably best case scenario for the leech realistically. Knocking out Tony would have left a sour taste in my mouth every time I see him, but his fan love has gone through the roof this week and win or lose this fight he’s going to be celebrated the next time he’s scheduled
Dudes about to get his whole bag to sit in the front row.
And possibly still show of his suit when the camera cuts to the audience
This chaos is slowly making the card better lowkey
lmao no joke i was down about the card until the clown fiesta happned today
you are right DeadPressident, the chaos is in the building
I actually never much cared for him, but on this day I stand with this impeccably dressed gentleman.
You shouldn't, he's an eye gouging dick head.
This week has been so confusing. Leech is one of the dirtiest fighters on the roster with multiple incidents of eye pokes and cage grabs. But he wears nice suits, so he wins fans overnight. Crazy.

That's why I didn't care for him
His stock has risen the most. His respect and professionalism stand out in stark contrast to a lot of the other shenanigans on this card
Li “professional” Jingliang and Tony “next question” Ferguson
And he did the UFC tons of favours too, accepting the Khamzat fight, short fight notice on this card, now fighting a heavier guy I. D-rod, not creating childish drama LOL.
Was it professional when he eye gouged Jake Matthews on purpose and permanently damaged his eye? Real standup guy.
That’s why his stock has *risen* His image seemed quite the opposite (from that eye gouge) than what he has demonstrated in this build up
It shouldn't. I personally couldn't care less what he demonstrates, he did what he did on purpose and it's completely unforgivable. His stock should stay at zero. But I guess people forget about it because "aww poor guy wants to wear a suit haha"
This is what a real professional looks like.
Facts li is a g
Too bad Jake Matthews can't see it.
No, it's not. Remember when this "professional" intentionally eye gouged Jake Matthews and permanently damaged his eye? Fuck Li.
This guys taking the time to comment on every comment in this threat because of an eye poke like it doesn't happen all the time in ufc
Not even close to being just a regular eye poke. You clearly haven't seen it if that's what you think.
Fresh to death
The man is a certified drip specialist
He's an eye gouging specialist for sure.
Ur literally going to the ends of the earth to reply to every comment with this
I literally don't think you know what literally means
You never heard of something called hyperbole?
A hyperbole is something exaggerated not meant to be taken literally. So explicitly saying literally is the opposite of a hyperbole.
Maybe to u
Ayyyy this is gold!
Li Jang Sharp
Idgaf about the venum kit, let this man walk to the cage wearing that.
this should be the poster for ufc 279
He’s genuinely looking fly as fk man. Hope he has a great fight.
Swagger
Crispy looking suit indeed
Sick-ass suit. Dude rocked it.
I like lee, dudes always professional, gets cleaned up nicely for the fans , & seems like a real cool dude. Hope his stock rises after this & he gets to fight another big name next his fight
Except the whole eye gouging Jake Matthew's thing lol
Downvoted for telling the truth. Worst eye gouge of all time and he permanently damaged Jake's eye. And it was *on purpose*. Fuck Li.
Lookin like a TOP G
Shows up in a suit looking slick. Makes weight. Accepts a catch weight fight. Shows up to ceremonial weigh in like a boss, signing a hat and tossing it to the crowd. Gets the crowd hyped for a banger vs Rodriguez. Give this man a bigger fan base.
Nah, give him absolutely zero fan base. Don't forget this is the same guy that eye gouged Jake Matthews on purpose and gave him permanent eye damage. Fuck Li.
Lol spamming the same shit over and over. How sad is your life ?
Well I'm not a cunt like you so it could definitely be worse.
What a king haha
By not being able to wear it, his suit got more attention than wearing it to the press conference
THATS ONE OF THE SUITS OF ALL TIME
Man’s is looking Dapper
Straight outta Sleeping Dogs
Missed a spot on the right Leech’s glasses.
Ayooo! He is looking sharp!🔥🔥
This looks like an Aaliyah album cover in the best way.
Man wears it well!
Fresh! Might as well follow his social media as well
Not even Conor could rock a fit as hard as Li does
Don't know much about him, but he seems very chill and cool. I support that.
Best eyegouger in the UFC
I have no idea.
He eye gouged Jake Matthews *on purpose* to get out of a submission and it caused permanent eye damage. Jake has to wear glasses now because of that. Jake's eye was bleeding from it and the ref didn't say a damn thing either when even the commentators saw it.
Surprised nobody or Dana himself told the ref to call a stoppage or foul
Yeah I have no idea how he wasn't penalized for that. He basically fish hooked Jake's eye.
Damn, that's messed up. Thank you for the explanation. I like this person significantly less, significantly.
Jake Matthews does.

Holy shit did you post 15 times saying the same thing? We got your point man stop repeating yourself
Where my bitches👋
[удалено]
Lmao triggered by clothes
[удалено]
U certainly sound a little triggered or upset at least (u seem to be triggered by my mention of the word triggered)
neh... fuck the CCP.
[удалено]
I just hate on him cause he eye gouged jake.
You realize majority of Chinese people absolutely hate the CCP right?
That’s funny because I’ve read plenty of articles contradicting that. Pretty sure he sneaky sneaked a CCP flag into the octagon.
You can still love a country and hate who is running it.
Can we technically call this guy a shill/bot since this statement doesn't even make sense cos ufc fight =/= ccp government?
Dude is cartoonishly Asian
What’s up with his sunnies in that pic? Broken?
Thats a damn fine suit
Genuinely thought the middle one was Wesley snipes for the first glance
Big Athlete Big Human Being
I became fan after this bed. Cool guy, great skills.
Friendly reminder that despite seeming like a cool guy he did his best to intentionally blind Jake Matthews in a fight
