Finally an interview that doesn't feel disconnected.

[Happycamper]

This is so much better than the translator interviews.

Great job Helen. Really enjoyed seeing this. You could tell that Zhang was so much more comfortable speaking her first language.

[Hoody]

Zhang Weili seems like a good champ hope she holds on to the belt for a long time

[BRAINFxck]

UFC should hire Helen Yee and The Schmo, power couple!

Thanks Helen Yee for the subtitles greatly appreciated.

[melvinbutters]

Great interview and was impressed with Helen's linguistic skills.

[AkamapD]

Who needs a translator when you got Helen Yee ? 😅

[ReneeW.]

Great interview Helen! I honestly think this is the best one yet by far I’ve seen with Weili. It seems much easier to follow along with the subtitles, rather than with a translater repeating what she’s saying. Hopefully she’s learning English, as I really think that’ll truly help boost her US fan base to a different level. (imho of course!) Keep up the great work Helen!!

[GaudialisCorvus]

Awesome interview! Really nice to hear fighters speak freely in their native language 😀

"My name is ZHANG WEILI, remember ME!"

Loved that line after her title win. I don't get the UFC's insistence on calling her Weili Zhang just because "the family name is said last here". Okay well she's not from here and there they say the family name first... just pronounce the name the way the person themselves says it ffs.

The interviewer is clear simple and to the point 👍

[degenviking]

Great job Helen! It’s hard not to be a fan of Weili. Humble warrior.

[MrMarblesXecution]

thank you for subtitles, it's much better than having to listen to a translator repeat what they said. It just flows better.

[kingquan]

Helen Yee did a phenomenal job I seen a lot of interviews but this is far as the best one I have seen so far

[TheBiffsterLife]

Weili speaking faster as she realises someone is actually able to understand her.

[andersonjiang]

Thank you Helen Yee. I appreciate all your hard work and updates.

[davidjimenez]

Keep the great interviews coming, we sure do appreciate them! Thanks!
