According to the People's Daily, at noon on November 13, Beijing time, the UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship 281 was held in Madison Square Garden, New York, USA. In the Women's Strawweight Championship as the co-main match, Chinese player Zhang Weili defeated current champion Cara Espaza from the United States in the second leg and re-winned the championship belt of that level.
In 2019, Zhang Weili won the UFC Women's Grass Weight World Gold Belt for the first time and became the first UFC world champion from Asia. A year later, she successfully defended her title. In 2021, Zhang Weili lost the gold belt. This time he finally returned to the top, fulfilled his pre-match promise, and brought the gold belt back to China.
Zhang Weili said in an interview that the last time I won the championship was in China. I think I am Zhang Weili of China. This time I won the championship in the United States. I think I am Zhang Weili of the world. At the moment of winning the gold medal, Zhang Weili vented her emotions with utmost care. Indeed, she has experienced too much in the past three years. Zhang Weili in the trough has not given up, and she has been constantly reflecting on herself. For a long time in the past, Zhang Weili has put the win or loss of the game aside. She said that the most difficult thing to defeat is actually myself. In order to seek breakthroughs, I compete with myself every day. Zhang Weili has undergone transformation, not only on the technical level, but also on the psychological level. She no longer has to worry about whether Joanna, Kara or others standing in front of her. What she wants to do most is to become a better self. Only such a player who is not afraid of victory or defeat and has the courage to break through can truly deserve the championship.
