#UFC #UFC281
One of the best female fighters ever. Zhang vs Joanna was one of the best fights I ever seen
Did thought joanna won 1st tbh
Female? LOL you got to be kidding, that thing is more male than Jessico Androdo
@@flrn6233 bro you sound like somebody who is insecure about their own masculinity hahah
@@flrn6233 This comment is ridiculous. Have you seen Cyborg, Amanda Nunes, Valetina, Holly Holm, Tecia Torres, list goes on. Even Rose looks like a boy.. Regardless, these women are amazing. Stop hating.
She started fighting when she was 25 ,only if she started sooner .
“My name is Zhang Weill, remember me!” She’s awesome
When there's Weili you know you're going to get a banger!
she always bring a banger fight
This woman works non-stop every day... her dedication to training is second to none she lives and breathes fighting
Weili never disappoints! My family and I are rooting for you!!
I'm obsessed with her .she is so sweet yet so fierce..what a beautiful blend ...
You can see how strong Weili has become over the years.
Indeed!
Duh.
Lemos was super strong and she got dominated by Weili's strength. Andrade was the strongest woman in the division by far and expected to walk through Weili's shots. I think she was a little shocked to find that SHE was the one being overpowered.
I.mean she picked up Francis nganou
In this house we cheer for Zhang Weili Queen of Violence.
Woman's an absolute killer. She, Valentina, and Nunes are just on another level.
Esparza by spinning shit rd 1
She is not on the same level as Val and Nunes.
@@skurmzy Esparza could beat her way out of a wet paper bag !
@@5Cdarkwing By what measure? She's a complete fighter now. Striking, wrestling and submission, athletic and explosive
@@RunForPeace-hk1cu no she is not ! She is a gate keeper at best !
Bispings commentary when he says "she can't stay in the pocket like that cuz Andrade....wow......" hahaha he was in for a shocker haha
Zhangs greatest hits were definitely in the first Joanna fight. She looked like an alien sighting after 25 minutes 😭
2nd fight
Can you believe some people still think Joanna won the first fight?
She is really ready to be Champ again! She is good to go on a long run as the Champ this time.... I love her! Let's go Champ!!
saw your comment 4 days ago and couldn't not come back! she definitely was
yup she is now
Shes such a beast! Zhang u inspire tf outta me❤️ represent the Chinese!
We love Weili
Zhang weili is a great perfect fighter ! All Chinese are very proud of you ! 👍👍👍🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳❤️❤️❤️🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🌺🌺🌺🌺💪😍💪💪
That KO was savage
Zhang is a Beast 😬
Agreed , BEASTtttttt
She's a beast from the East!
can’t wait to see her fight in a couple months!!❤❤❤
Huge rose fan here who’s grown to love Zhang! She is a warrior and is getting that belt back!
I fucking love this woman! One of my favorite MMA fighter ever
everyone talks about how hard Weili works in the gym and It really does show how serious she takes her mma career. Dominated Lemos lol
Carla is cooked if she stands with zhang for even one minute. No one’s ever done Jessica Andrade like that before 😭
Ikr dayumm
..hah.. like shes benn hit by a semi than ran over with all of 16 wheels. i never saw someone beat another person like that..ever..wtf!
Fr Carla is gonna get slept by Zhang, I don't see how Carla wins this.
Yes on 135 division
she was booed so bad but now everyone likes her and earned the respect.🙌
She is from china and mma community can be pretty harsh sometimes but once you gain respect it's good😊
Keep booing him
A true warrior 💪🏼💐
ME ENCANTA SU ESTILO . ES DE MIS FAVORITA DE ESTOS TIEMPOS . I LOVE YOU ZHANG WEILLI ......
She is just pure power. Every shot was like Boom, Boom and Boom.
anyone else hear her scream after she knocks out Andrade? she screams so loud and high pitched she breaks the crowd noise
I think he's the most exciting fighter currently, she always fights with everything
Love her performances 🙌
my fav🔥
that riangle to armbar transition was smooth. and quick
Zhang Weili have complete skillset and high technical level. For instance, she uses side piercing kick effectively with great accuracy though it's not an easy technique even for TKD or Kickboxing practitioners
Esparza in for a tough fucking night. Weili wants her belt back and she’s coming to get it.
She became the best grappler on her division now Complete fighter
It still baffles me how she's the only Champion from Asia with how many martial arts have originated there, and how seriously they take martial arts, not to mention how many people live in China. When she destroys Carla, she'll not only be the first Asian to win a UFC title, she'll also be the second.
@@travisvandevoort6960 I don't think so, I think it's discrimination personally rather than genetics, as well as being on the other side of the planet, language barrier, and making a name for yourself in a country of 1.4 billion, must be pretty difficult.
@@travisvandevoort6960 I mean I'm not a scientist, I don't know if Asians are genetically inferior/superior and in what areas.
@@thisisutubnottwitterwhyhandles Asians don't value athletics let alone excercise as much as making $$$. That's the modern Asian mind set brah
UFC didn't scout fighters from Asia in the past. ONE FC has done that. Now UFC realizes they are missing out huge markets.
That's like saying it's surprising how there's no Western Champion in Asian fighting competitions. Most people just prefer to fight on their own turf. Weili had a special reason to join the UFC: she was inspired by Rousey.
I love Zhang.. she just fights
Zhang is a more complete fighter than Carla. She will finish Carla inside 3.
Within the 1st round.
I thought Carla would get knocked out in the first round.
She's a beast, I expect it to be really tough for Carla this weekend.
zhang Weili we love you keep going
Her facial expression when she's beating up Andrade.. she's not half-assing those shots.
Her face when she landed that spinning back fist on JJ says "How dare you think you even have a chance against me!" Fucking brutal lol (Edit: for people not understanding, pause the video at 4:44 I am talking about that facial expression.
Retired her straight up😂
? All she did was scream idk where you got that from 😂
@@thafightgame5383 wow
@@thafightgame5383 thinking the same thing. I don't get it.
Wtf what?? Bruh you're stretching harder than a yoga teacher lmao don't know how you made that up lol
Weili is my favorite fighter in women's MMA 👍
Zhang is a destroyer.
My girl Zhang❤
I wouldn't mind seeing Andrade and Zhang again I just wanna see if she can do it again they are both beasts
lol 1 minute into the 1st round. no rematch necessary. weili got better things to do
I'm not saying she deserves one just wouldn't mind seeing if she could do it again. Just like when rose ko weili in the first round I said the same thing wouldn't mind seeing them go at it again and they did it was a great fight.
@@courtlandholmes418 after seeing her destroyed by Yan I think she needs to think about retirement. That bullish style is just not gonna work for her anymore against top tier fighters.
@@redlizerad8268it's probably because she's off the roids
@@Brandon-to9vp or that her chin is just cracked
I think there's no arguing here she is the most well-rounded female fighter so far.
The Carla fight is going to be one of the biggest mismatches in UFC history. That fight is not going past 2 rounds, with a KO win for Zhang.
You right
I think she might be the best female MMA athlete ever, definitely my favourite! Go Weili!
Greatest hits. Literally.
She’s a beast
My fav and most lethal female martial artist of all time. Poetry in motion.
Weili has not proved herself enough to be called the most lethal of all time, Valentina Is sitting right there with 7 title defenses.
outstanding fight
Came here just to see that KILLER COMBO! and that yell is legendary!
She is f*ucking awesome 👏
She lifted Francis , dead lift
Her elbows and knees on jessica...geeesh
장웨일리 너무멋쪄요 ❤❤
Zhang threw more punches in this video the carla and rose did in their last fight .
Carla and Rose combined.
Well no duh this is combined with like 6+ fights, this clip better have more punches than both rose and Carlas last fight lmfao.
You can say whatever you want but if rose didnt time that kick perfectly and ko zhang i think it would go to zhang
Lucky kick
those elbows on augilar looked personal lol what a savage
A rare one-punch KO by a woman
Zhang has my heart lol ❤❤
Striking lends itself well to video highlights like this. Imagine making a similar video with BJJ tap-outs
Savage!
That spinning backfist was pure Sanda. I think Sanda fighters are the best at using that move. God that was frightening.
Zhang Weili's spinning back fist that laid out Joanna was so vicious and effective that I've personally renamed the spinning back fist "The Zhang", lol. Also, I've been watching MMA for about a dozen years, and I swear that after Zhang-JJ-2, where Zhang won with that spinning back fist, a lot more fighters have incorporated it into their arsenal. Hey, you can win a fight against someone every bit your equal with one technique? Why not try it, right?
I'm so impressed by Weili. Damn! I love her.
Beast
bruh she’s awesome
U can just see how much more power she has and can take a fuckin hit
Très bonne combattante! Elle ne lâche pas son adversaire .c est une fille qui suit sa rage pour vaincre .un exemple a suivre.
Carla Esparza gonna have to have the fight of her life
Beast mode....almost animal kill instincts. Like a Pitbull that flips the switch and goes in to rip you a new one. Like a tiger whose teeth sink into your throat and collapses your windpipe. Like a crazed chimp who is busily ripping your ears and nose off. This little dynamo can only be stopped by a lucky shot. Incredible athlete...incredible kill instinct that you rarely see in women's combat sports. She flipped that switch and became a nightmare...lights out
Absolute savage
So cool fighter. That backfist was so gangster :D
Well done 🙏
Pqp, que luta😮
When she stops Carla it’s gonna feel so satisfying & like revenge for some reason 😂
spinning backfist to the back of the head
Yea and those elbows to the back of Andrade's head
Some of the cleanest multiple elbows to the back of the head in MMA history.
*Temple
Yea. Even the back fist on JJ looked to be very close to the back of the head. Not saying she's doing it on purpose
Bravo !
めっちゃ強いです!
Add another one 🔥
She is going to eat Carla espraza alive
That lady right there is a warrior
my girlll! love her
She just won again tonight against Lemos. Powerful and tough Chinese woman.
Absolute destroyer
❤❤yesssss!
Idc what people says, she is the top 10 female fighter
that thumbnail made her look like a greek statue
Great body control
from d Philippines 😘🌷✌️🧡💚
Zhang the Best fighter ever
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 ufc 張偉麗 world champion Zhang Weili💗💗💗💗💗💗
Man Weili's been OP since that 2nd Rose fight😂
Weili was robbed both times. early stoppage and judges bias decision.
@@HiddenAgendas Rose will always be Weili's daddy I'm afraid.
What a strong lady! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
It incorporates the technical movements of Chinese martial arts
It incorporates daily "juice" usage of China sport program which starts already for kids at school🙃
@@amberland2705 ohhhhh ,yes u r right
Wow!
