A UFC Legend in the making

Zhang “Magnum” Weili is a chinese strawweight, who has made a lasting impact in the UFC.

You see, Dana White has been waiting for a star to excite chinese UFC fans, and in 2018, a star would arrive.

Weili defeated Danielle Taylor via unanimous decision advancing her to 17-1,
and later that year, ragdolled Jessica Aguilar and showcased her impressive grappling to win via armbar.

Then, after defeating Tecia Torres via decision, she earned a title shot.
Zhang faced heavy-hitter, Jessica Andrade, but made it look absolutely easy and finished her in 42 seconds to become not only the strawweight champion but the first ever chinese champion.

In Weili’s first defense, she would face Joanna Jedrzejczyk in the best women’s fight in UFC history to win via split decision and retain her belt.
But in 2021, Thug Rose Namajunas would knockout and dethrone Weili to become the new champion, and defeated her once more in the rematch.

Glad to see our two reigning Chinese champions Xhang Wheili and Israel Adesanya making there country proud

[vedanshkurup]

I actually thought that she beat Rose Namajunas in their rematch, regardless of the outcome, I truly belive she is on her way to become one of the best women fighter of all time.

[yougood]

Weili is ridiculously stocky and strong for her competitors.

[notyouraverageasian]

How you gonna beat a woman who lifted Francis Ngannou 🤷

[chess]

She is not the first Chinese champion we got Israel 😂😂

[high]

Weili stopped 3 former champs but Rose stopped only 2. Yes Weili is already a legend

[grovelchieftain]

Love her to bits. Super nice person and a fucking killer too

[bigfloppa]

Wasn’t Izzy the first Chinese champion 🇨🇳

[TuxedoTalk]

With well over 2 billion people it's shocking China and India don't produce better fighters. I can't think of either producing a fighter to make it into the top 10 in any fighting organization.

[markmartin]

Wow she is awesome fantastic incredible amazing great work.

[fleetadmiralhell]

NOW DANA WANTS INDIAN STAR UFC FIGHTER 😅

[mike_hunt_fish_trap]

[gurdevsingh]

UFC. Legend in the making😂😂
She is a legend

[taylorodonnell]

They should make a woman’s heavyweight class, id watch

[taylorscott]

Carla should never have had that belt. Thug rose should go flawless in the trilogy this year

[bxnycrampage]

Zhang mind set is strong. Unlike Ronda Rousey

[manonamission]

You meant to say 2nd Chinese Champion…we all know Israel is the 1st Chinese Cham 😂

[ainz]

Uhmm she isn't the first chinese champ

[saveriopulsinelli]

How often does usada get over to China

[mmabasava.]

thug defeated her or finished her two times, thug secure a one victory she gets title shot immediately.
