Every Zhang’s octagon interview is so epic and dramatic. I always feeling huge empathy to her

[isiwan]

When I saw her effortlessly pick up Francis Ngannou, I knew there was no way Carla was gonna out grapple her. Great win!

How can anyone not feel happy for Weili when she wins? Congrats champ 🏆🥇👏👍

Weili’s improvement in her wrestling was amazing. Night and day from her and Rose’s second fight. She damn well deserved this championship!

Anytime I see Zhang's fight camp clips it amps me up -- the work and focus she puts in is inspiring

[xPerseverant]

Balance is restored again in the universe.

She said, last time when she won the belt in China, she felt she was China's Weili, and this time, she feels she is the world's weili！
Amazing game, amazing players！🥳🥳

Lol after Weili said “I finally come back” in English, she turned to her interpreter saying “what are the other questions? That’s all my English. ” in Chinese 😂 she is so authentic and adorable. I’m so glad she regained the belt🎉🎉

Btw her English improved so much and there is a vid about she learning English😂

Great win by Weili, I thought by TKO but by submission. I’m impressed because she’s a stand up fighter, her MMA skills has definitely evolved 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Yesss!!! Proves hard work and perseverance pays off. This lady deserves this, didn't give up. Well done champ.

[dakotaxu]

How she was so determined and I come back and win the belt back!!! We saw her training videos every week ha ha. She just never stopped training and believing!

[giovanirafael]

Clearly we could see that the Weili was going to win cuz Carla was having a hard time wrestling with her. Weili is also very strong physically and in the standing fight so there's no talk! Kudos to her, this win is no surprise to anyone!

[zwergz]

That's the way the cookie crumbles, congrats Zhang :D

Zhang Weili is like dragonball goku, she keeps improving after every comeback. Mark my word, this is not Weili final form! 🔥🔥🔥
