Zhang Weili is currently the UFC Women's Strawweight Champion and has successfully defended her title twice in a row, becoming the first person in the women's strawweight division!
Just yesterday, Zhang Weili finally made a move, and she left a message on the social media of current women's flyweight champion Grasso: Hello, champion, it looks like everyone wants to see us fight at UFC 300!
Grasso quickly replied: I admire you very much, and I am willing to fight with you to defend my belt, can you come to flyweight?
Zhang Weili: Let's get started, I'm going to flyweight, and Aite Dana White, let's make it happen!
It can be seen that both of them have a strong "fighting spirit", although there is no official response, but I believe that fans who are familiar with UFC Dana White have already seen a little way, isn't this the usual method of the UFC? And on the whole, the battle between the two is almost a matter of course.
Let's take a look at the comparison of the physical data of the two.
Zhang Weili: In 1990, she was 1.63 meters tall, weighed 52 kilograms, and had a record of 8 wins and 2 losses.
Grasso: In 1993, he was 1.65 meters tall, weighed 56 kilograms, had a record of 8 wins and 3 losses, and has won 5 consecutive victories since 2020!
Zhang Weili has more than 700,000 fans on the Internet, and Grasso has more than 800,000 fans.
Zhang Weili has beaten all types of fighters, top fighters Joanna and Rose, heavy gunner Andra's, wrestler Carla, and there have been successes and failures, some have won five rounds narrowly, some have won by KO, some have won by naked choke, and some have been knocked out, it can be said that they are very experienced, and they have experienced various experiences mentally.
In the flyweight division, Grasso's fights are smooth, they are all strikers with similar styles, they haven't experienced big winds and waves, and Grasso successfully defended the belt by drawing with Shepchenko "The Bullet" in his last outing. He then had hand surgery and is now recovering.
Then there is the psychological burden, Zhang Weili belongs to the challenge of leapfrogging, fighting strong with weak, happy if he succeeds, nothing if he fails, it will not bring too much psychological burden, but Grasso is different, fighting weak with strength, losing not only loses the gold belt, but also disgraces.
But in terms of weight, Zhang Weili has no advantage, Zhang Weili is playing in the strawweight class, 115 pounds, that is, 52 kilograms and below, and the flyweight class is between 115-125 pounds, that is, between 52-57 kilograms, but in general, the boxers are the highest critical value, that is to say, Grasso weighs 10 pounds more than Zhang Weili, you must know that the difference between a few pounds of meat is quite large.
Let's wait and see!
