Grasso, Markos, or Herrig would be decent fights for Weili imho.

 

[Me&MrJones]

You were very wrong.

When was this fight? I don't watch wmma.

When was this fight? I don't watch wmma.

You don't read thread titles either, apparently.

And you don't let the ignorance that is born from not watching WMMA, keep you from predicting WMMA outcomes as if you weren't so ignorant. As it so happened, two of the three women's fights that night ended in finishes.

86 decisions.

Tecia Torres or Herrig makes the most sense, I'm assuming Waterson and Calvillo get matched. Hope it's not Grasso, that girl needs an easy fight.

Yeah, she does.

And she needs to sit down a bit more on her punches.

86 decisions.

womens flyweight - highest sub rate of any division
womens strawweight - only 3 male divisions with higher submission rate
womens featherweight - second highest ko rate of any division


you realise there is a link between weight and ko's right?



plus you are looking at young divisions that are constantly evolving.

whats the decision rate for womens fights over the last, say, 12 months?

sample size matters

so why are you asking?

86 decisions.

Well, sir, I applaud you for using evidence. And I concede that you are correct in saying "like most WMMA fights", in the boundaries of whatever this data covers.

Decision. Like most wmma bouts.

The WMMA decision rate here is 61.6% for all women's divisions combined. Which does fulfill the criterion for "most".

Three things should be noted by the WMMA haters:
1. Men's Flyweight and Men's Featherweight divisions also fulfill the criterion for "most fights end in decisions".
2. A 61.6% decision rate is very much better than the 90% decision rate the WMMA haters like to claim.
3. Comparing divisions of equal weights doesn't show significant differences:

Women's Flyweight: 60.6%
Men's Flyweight: 58.0%

Women's Bantamweight: 54.3%
Men's Bantamweight: 50%

Women's Featherweight: 57.1%
Men's Featherweight: 54.1%

145 only has 7 fights, if it wasn't for Cyborg it'd not exist.

I don't want to know how their finish rate will be by the time they've the same amount of fights like the male fly, bantam, featherweight diviisons.

We've Invicta, let them all go.

You've chosen the wrong fight thread to get much support for that sentiment. I'm quite sure that the great majority of people who saw this fight were wow'd by it and are eager to see Weili Zhang's next fight in the UFC.

Definitely. Zhang has a number of possibilities for her next match. It will be interesting to see who they offer and who accepts a match up with her.

I watched the entire event. Among Chinese fighters Li Jingliang and Weili Zhang impressed me most. The Chinese fans were pretty cool. They cheered for their favorites & were respectful toward all. The Shanghai performance institute (double the size of the one in Las Vegas) looks like a big deal. Amazing training ground for development and expansion in the original home of martial arts.

As a viewer I enjoy events in various countries. You can see the locale, what the fans are like, how they act in public etc. It's one of my favorite aspects of watching mma.

The Shanghai performance institute (double the size of the one in Las Vegas) .

Triple the size, according to the sources I've come across.

Not shooting for records. Just trying to make quality UFC-relevant threads that the interested will enjoy. I don't care if the WMMA-haters get their jimmies rustled. Fook 'em. BTW, over 5000 views for this thread now.

Brazilians r the ones that don’t cheer at all for the foreigners.
