Perhaps no one thought that after defeating Zhang Weili grassweight champion Ross, in the UFC 274 women's grassweight championship battle, after playing five rounds, he lost to "Cookie Sister" Carla Espaza (the first champion of the grassweight), and even openly played for his previous defeated Zhang Weili. Zhang Weili was suspicious of responding, publicly challenging the new champion Carla with 9 words.
When it comes to Zhang Weili, I believe most people will give a thumbs up to the UFC player who is known as "the most capable woman in China". Yes, Zhang Weili has created a series of Chinese players in the history of the UFC, very good. Shortly thereafter, however, she lost to her opponents in both matches against Rose. Once lost the golden belt, the second battle challenged the golden belt and failed. But Zhang Weili did not shrink back from this, on the contrary, she was more determined in her heart, training hard, and wanted to take back what she had lost.
However, it is a bit interesting that Rose, an old rival who had defeated her twice before, openly complained for Zhang Weili at this time. It all started with Rose's big fight with "Cookie Sister" Carla Espazar. The game was a focus battle, but before the game, Rose had always been the dominant side. Because this game is actually very familiar to both sides, it is an old opponent. "Cookie Sister" Carla Espaza was the UFC's first women's grassweight champion in 2014, and it was Rose who defeated "Cookie Sister" Carla Espaza. However, after that, Rose quickly improved his strength and made his own name, and the two defeats of Zhang Weili made Rose's reputation more exciting. So before this game, the outside world was generally optimistic about Rose.
But what is strange is that this game is not hot at all. Rose is not at all like the previous Rose, the whole time conservative and not attack. "Cookie Sister" Carla Espaza is also the same, perhaps jealous of Rose's strength, and dare not attack easily, such a scene once made the audience feel very bored. Although there have been changes in the back, there is still not much passion to speak of. Interestingly, while waiting for a verdict after the game, Ross thought he had won. So she waited with her head held high, and even made a celebratory gesture in advance. In contrast, "Cookie Sister" Carla Espaza is a little uneasy, thinking that she may have lost. But the end result was that "Cookie Sister" Cara Espaza defeated Rose by a narrow margin of 47-48, 49-46, 48-47, and became the women's grassweight champion again after many years. The defeated Rose looked incredulous, showed a speechless expression, and finally walked to his coaching team lonely.
For this result, Rose is full of disbelief, in the post-match interview, Rose directly said his doubts in his heart, and also mentioned Zhang Weili, and complained about her. Ross said: "I think Zhang Weili was more successful in my hug wrestling because she combined wrestling, I wasn't too afraid of her wrestling at the time, I was in awe of Carla's wrestling, I respected her performance on the field, but a little bit, I don't understand how you can become a champion like this." Rose's words are very obvious, that is, if you can judge yourself to lose the golden belt and Carla can become the champion, then Zhang Weili is more qualified to win than to lose the game.
In fact, in the second battle between Zhang Weili and Ross, although Ross defeated Zhang Weili, this victory was not convincing. At that time, many people questioned the judgment of the referee of the competition, believing that it should be the decision that Zhang Weili won. However, although the decision of the game is controversial, the result cannot be changed. Last time it was Zhang Weili who lost in the controversy, and this time it was Ross who lost in the controversy.
For Rose's unfair remarks to himself after the game, Zhang Weili seemed to give his own response. She openly challenged the new champion Carla on social platforms. She said: "Congratulations to the new champion, come on, new champion, let's play a game". New champion, let's play a game, these 9 words are not only Zhang Weili's challenge to the new champion, but also her ultimate goal, which is to regain the golden belt. However, Zhang Weili's current task is to debut in UFC 275 on the 11th of next month to compete with her old rival Joanna in the second battle. Come on, Zhang Weili.
