As early as November 2017, Rose defeated Joanna, who was in his prime at the time, and won the UFC Women’s Flyweight World Championship.

But in the subsequent defending game with Jessica Andrade, Rose was overturned by his opponent, was ended by a KO, and lost the UFC World Championship title. In April 2021, Rose won the qualification to challenge Zhang Weili, and at 78 seconds in the first round, he KOed Zhang Weili with a kick, becoming the first female player in UFC history to regain the title.
Born on September 30, 1990, Zhang Weili has a current MMA record of 21 wins and 2 losses, including 10 KOs and 7 surrendered wins. In August 2019, Zhang Weili won the UFC Women’s Grassweight Championship with 42 seconds TKO Jessica Andrade. She not only became the first UFC world champion in Chinese history, but also the first UFC world champion in Asian history. In March 2020, Zhang Weili narrowly defeated Joanna in the first UFC championship defending match with a different decision. The match was very fierce, and it was rated as the “Best Showdown of the Year” by many fighting media in 2020. Joanna’s face was distorted by Zhang Weili. In April of this year, Zhang Weili conducted the second UFC World Championship defending game, and the result was a KO by Rose in 78 seconds. For Zhang Weili, this second battle was a last resort and couldn’t afford to lose.
Regarding how to make a comeback, Zhang Weili said that Saint Pierre and Rose are their role models, and they both returned to the top after losing the championship.
Zhang Weili said in an interview: “I think people want to see how I stand up again after a failure. Of course, I am also looking forward to doing this. The last game ended even before I actually started playing. In fact, from a technical point of view, I have not had time to give full play to my abilities. This time the two of us can really compete in fighting skills. I think this rematch will be an exciting one. In the duel, we will all have the opportunity to fully demonstrate our respective skills. I have learned a lot about wrestling skills this time, and training with Sejudo has greatly improved my wrestling skills. In addition, of course there is also distance control. With knowledge of various aspects such as psychology and tactics, I think all this makes me even better.”
For Sejudo, he has achieved achievements and heights that few can match in his professional fighting career. After retiring, he changed his job to become a coach, training Zhang Weili in Sejudo’s view is a natural thing, because he does not want to see Zhang Weili bye bye wasting her fighting talent.
Sejudo said in an interview: “When I saw Zhang Weili fighting in the highest level of competitions, I felt that training her was my bounden duty, because I knew how to adjust and transform her to make her a beast completely different from before. , Just like everything that happened to me. I told Zhang Weili, first of all, you have to admit that you have made a mistake and you have to accept failure. No matter what the situation is, you have to accept this. This is the most important thing. After that, we have to make adjustments, because the things we thought were effective in the past caused this failure, and we have to adjust them in order to beat Rose. This is a learning curve, to find real mistakes, and thus Reinvent yourself.” Zhang Weili is really a tireless machine. She needs to slow down because she accepts things too fast. After training for less than a week, everyone on the team and I thought she was too unusual. “
After playing an epic duel with Joanna last year and finally winning, Zhang Weili seems to have embarked on the road to becoming a fighting superstar. After being hit by Rose’s headshot KO, Zhang Weili felt disappointed in addition to confusion. However, a failure does not mean that the bright future is completely changed. If she can defeat her opponent in this second battle with Rose to regain the title, this failure will become an excellent springboard.
For an elite fighter, the hardest thing is to break the former self and reorganize and change his career. During this fine-tuning process, Zhang Weili hopes to further explore her abilities and skills, which is why she finally decided to come to Fight Ready MMA for training. In addition to skills, Zhang Weili believes that her psychological quality has also improved. She said that compared with April, she has evolved into a completely different player, and looks forward to re-attaching the UFC championship belt this weekend. Wear it on your waist.
Zhang Weili said when talking about his mentality: “I think my biggest change is my mentality. I think I must concentrate on doing everything well. When you eat, you are eating, and when you train, you are Training, when you rest, you have to rest well. This is my biggest gain.”Return to Sohu to see more
