Recently, China's UFC women's player Yan Xiaonan exposed in an interview with foreign media that in the UFC272 match on March 6, she felt very painful after being fouled by her opponent, but she was worried about being terminated and did not tell the referee to grit her teeth and insist, and the post-match physical examination found that there was a lot of blood in the lower body.
In addition, Yan Xiaonan said that if Zhang Weili is not willing to play a second game with Joanna in the UFC 275 match, he is willing to play in her place.
At the UFC 272 event in Las Vegas, Nevada, on March 6 this year, Yan Xiaonan competed with Marina Rodriguez, a third-place opponent, as both sides attached great importance to the right to challenge the championship.
In the first round of the game, Yan Xiaonan played proactively, frequently outputting to opponents and hitting many times. Around 4 minutes later, Rodriguez hit Yan Xiaonan's crotch with a front knee strike from both sides, directly causing the game to be suspended. Although Yan Xiaonan was very painful, she continued to insist on the game and finally lost the game by a disagreement.
But many foreign boxing fans and team Alpha Male believe that Yan Xiaonan has won (but interestingly, Chinese boxing fans do not have as much repercussions from abroad).
Yan Xiaonan also said: "When I returned to the hotel with my coach, my team and I immediately re-watched the game, and all of us firmly believed that I won the first two legs and the third round we could give her but still very close, so I felt like I won that game. ”
Of Rodriguez's crotch-punching action for that foul, she said:
"Being struck in the crotch doesn't just affect the male players, so in that instant, I can feel the bleeding and the pain immediately, of course. But I didn't tell my translator and the doctor. I'm just worried that they're going to end the game because of that. So I told them I was fine, just give me some time to recover. But when I did my post-race physical examination, I found that there was a lot of blood there, and it was very painful. "
"This is a huge lesson I learned from this competition," Yan Xiaonan said, "I should fight until the last second, don't be conservative, don't leave the results to the judges to decide, I should be more aggressive and ensure that I win against my opponents." ”
Although yan Xiaonan was not discouraged by losing the game, UFC 275 is expected to be held in Singapore, and Zhang Weili may fight Joanna for a second time. When Yan Xiaonan was asked about the match, she said: "If Zhang Weili doesn't want to fight a second game with Joanna, then I want to play a game with Joanna." ”
