In Sunday's UFC Women's Grassweight Championship, "Cookie Monster" Carla Esparza defeated "Rose" Rose Namajunas to return to the title after eight years. After watching the game, Zhang Weili not only expressed her congratulations to the new champion, but also launched a challenge.
Zhang Weili wrote on her personal IG: "Congratulations to the new champion! Come on, new champion, let's play. ”
Zhang Weili's coach at the Height Ready training camp in Arizona, UFC double champion Cejudo, also left a message to support: "China will rise again!" ”
Although every time the championship changes hands always become the focus of the topic, the game is really sleepy because the process is really sleepy, so the spit is far more than congratulations and speculation about future trends. Former champion Andrad tweeted that it was the worst race in strawweight history and called "cookies" boring champions.
Bai Dana was also puzzled by the poor performance of the players on both sides of the game, and he even said: "I began to lose my mind halfway through the game."
And when Bai Dana was asked if he would arrange a two-time war between the two, he said: No one should ask to see the two of them fight again.
Subsequently, Bai Dana affirmed that the winner of the competition between Zhang Weili and Joanna would become the number one champion challenger.
Zhang Weili is currently preparing for the MMA training camp in BangTao, Thailand, and she will play Joanna again in UFC 275 in Singapore on June 12, Beijing time.
Obviously, if Zhang Weili loses, it will be the third consecutive defeat for the 32-year-old, which will also keep her away from the championship battle. But if she wins, it will be very good for her, and she will attack the new champion "Cookie".
At the same time, Joanna has not competed since losing to Zhang Weili in 2020 and has been removed from the UFC rankings, but if she wins in Singapore this time, it will make her "step up to the sky" to return to the stage of the championship battle.
At least one thing is certain, that is, the competition between Zhang Weili and Joanna is absolutely very hot, and they should let the active champion Biscuit and former champion Rose see who is the most popular player in the grassweight.
