Zhang Wei Li looking / sounding like a tekken character in this clip.
Crisp, speedy and powerful.
Bless Wei Li, looking forward to her return.
I hope she and her team are spending all of their time re-working her footwork and throwing out her previous gameplan vs Rose. It was lazy, predictable and utterly subservient to Rose's predictable gameplan of using feints to pick her shots on her terms at her pace for the entire fight and oh I fucking called it.
If she and her team have any brains they let someone else fight Rose to help disrupt her prep. Weili will have a much better time if they can fix those problems and come back with a pressure/clinch heavy style to counter Rose's typical clinch exits and intercept that heavy lead leg entry. IMO Weili can fucking destroy her but doing an immediate rematch is being just as idiotic as what Joanna's team did with her rematch with Rose.
I honestly thought Weili's team was at least at the level Rose's is but nope.
Stop releasing training footage. That is how they got you the first time. I hope they are smarter than the traditional Thai way of just train harder. Zhang still needs a MMA coach that gameplans. I know she visited Jackson before and probably left because training was subpar but she still needs someone to gameplan.

Her tell that led her to get knocked out was from training footage.I agree about the gameplan.
Nothing wrong with posting training footage, I like her form / technique.. snappy and crisp.
To be fair, she’s always looks good on pads. This pad work was good but I didn’t see anything special…
If I’m really being a critic, those punches looks strong and clean but I also saw a little labor in her arms/shoulders, throwing the hooks. She lost some speed in doing that, but I’m sure she was focusing on power.
That’s just an honest opinion based off the comparison of pro-boxing/striking level technique
nice
is the rematch happening?
Rose is one of those fighters that you have to fight a certain way to beat. She spends so much time training for her opponent that when they don't do as planned panic sets in and she starts seeing mistakes/problems and it begins a cascading effect.I picked Wei Li to lose too, for the same reasons.. tbh I doubt they change that much in her game plan this time, they aren't one of those modern strategic style camps.
Regardless I still think Wei Li has a chance, I think they will look at more tape of Rose and look at safe ways to control the distance, move forward and keep pressure on her. Wei Li is a great athlete and if she can get inside, she can get it done..
Her name is Weili. Not Wei Li.
She's not a street fighter character
You piss off. Learn the woman's namePiss off
Joanna fought a good fight the second time, that fight was very close. I do agree that it might be good to let Rose fight someone else first. It's too bad that Andrade got destroyed by Valentina. That would be the natural fight to make. Andrade won by KO slam the first fight then lost the second fight while beating the snot out of Rose that third round. I'd love to see the third fight, especially a five rounder.I hope she and her team are spending all of their time re-working her footwork and throwing out her previous gameplan vs Rose.
