Zhang: "Joanna was crying for a few hours in the hospital" post UFC 248

[AaandStill]

I just bumped into this Video vlog of Weili just after the fight on her way home.
Said she was in the hospital next to Joanna. Joanna's head was too big and ugly, looked like 2 heads. And Joanna was crying painfully for a few hours.
Starts at 01:23. The Video has English captions available

i believe it, took Joanna a long time to heal too

Solid work, right here.

Zeili's best work: behold The elephant woman

 

[ultramanhyata]

Ironically, the Boogey Woman became most terrifying in defeat.

This is a tough sport, man.

We sometimes forget the immediate effects of damage AFTER the fight. Also the psychological toll.

 

[Satchm0]

Humble pie must have been a little tart.

 

[Reign009]

BTW, Weili is not mocking Joanna. She felt sympathy for her despite all the shit that Joanna talked.

Very true. Can you imagine the pain after the fight when all that adrenaline is gone? The next few days must be excruciating.

 

[Canarinha]

Not something to be embarassed about

Fighting is an emotional game, expectations/pressure blood grit and months/days/minutes of hard work takes a toll on the mind and body.
Only natural to show emotions

 

[Maori]

Joanna needs to learn to stop blocking punches with her head

 

[keepemup]

When you've got that much internal bleeding I think it's ok to cry a little or a lot.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

that's the brutal part of the sport. not so much the violence but the toll it takes on someone.

she's the champion of the world, just put on a fight of the decade candidate performance and won, and there she is hobbling back to her hotel room with no crowds eating french fries and homemade rice and hamburger.

Joanna cried because she won that fight and if it weren't for the face swelling that influenced the judges and everyone else, she would have gotten the nod. She took that abuse for nothing and she knows the champ will be better next time and she may not be able to get that belt or any belt again.

 

[Deleted member 278323]

She got beat up bad and then the adrenaline wore off. No shame in crying.

 

[The Chosen]

WMMA fighters cry a lot. You see that TUF season with Gaethje and Alvarez? And Joanna should have won the fight. Zhang is insanely overrated

 

[Terrorist]

She looked like a cute alien. She should keep that style more often.

So do mma men. Cormier, Aldo, and Silva have all sobbed right in front of us.
