This time I came to China for only one purpose, and that was to scrap Zhang Weili. ”
It was Australia's beautiful boxing champion who said this: Alma Juniku, who served as the female bodyguard of the Australian Prime Minister.
Prior to this, the 18-year-old girl had already won an astonishing record of 18 wins in 20 fights with a fierce Muay Thai hand, and was the owner of the WBC Muay Thai World Belt.
Hitting the key points with a ruthless shot is the characteristic of this beautiful boxing champion, and the fighter who fought with her ended up with a blue nose and swollen face, and the Chinese player Wang Xiaohua who was previously hit with an elbow in the game cracked her eyebrow.
And smartly, in order to be able to win, the beautiful boxing champion specially chose to challenge Zhang Weili in the kickboxing match.
As a mixed martial arts fighter, Zhang Weili's ground jiu-jitsu skills are one of her strengths, but ground fights are outright banned in kickboxing.
On the other hand, Alma Juniku, as a Muay Thai fighter, is extremely outstanding in her fist and kick kung fu, and now that the weakness of ground combat has been filled by rules, it is no wonder that she can be so confident.
Can Zhang Weili win in such an unfavorable situation?
Alma Junicole
Alma Juniku, born in 2000, began Xi Muay Thai at the age of nine with her brother at the local Muay Thai gym middle school.
Muay Thai is a well-known and ferocious boxing style, and most of the men Xi who learn it are men, which leads to Junike being beaten up when she fights in the gym, and her nose and face are swollen and she goes home.
But undeterred, she began to devote more time and energy to her Muay Thai skills, as well as her strength.
After training day in and day out, her martial arts grew exponentially, and as her peers in the gym struggled to pose any threat to her, she began to challenge the seniors who were much older than her.
According to Junicole herself, when she successfully knocked out her opponent in a battle with a 25-year-old adult, she had only one thought in her mind, and that was that she was an absolute genius in Muay Thai.
At her strong request, Junico's father began arranging for her to play in Thailand.
As a teenager, Juniku was already unusually beautiful, and the beautiful fighter was able to receive cheers from the crowd when she appeared on the stage, but when she showed off her punches and kicks, the terrifying attack made the crowd roar.
Knees, elbows, and aggressive forward kicks – once the beauty has the initiative to attack, she'll show her opponents and the crowd how Muay Thai is the ultimate punch.
With her extreme offense, Juniku has won the WBC World Belt, IPCC World Belt, and WMC Australia Gold in just a few years, and her achievements in Muay Thai are countless.
Her beauty and violent offense have attracted a wave of traffic and fans for the beautiful boxing champion, and Junico, who is in the limelight, chose to take it a step further and began to make her way to the OME event, using it as a stepping stone into the UFC.
On the one hand, Muay Thai is so dangerous that Juniku risks being disfigured, and her parents and fans don't want to see her continue to fight in the Muay Thai ring.
On the other hand, the Muay Thai circle is still a little too small, and Juniku was only a teenager when she reached the top of this circle, and she was still a dozen years away from the peak of martial artists' physical peak.
It is imperative for Juniku to break the circle, so her first opponent choice in the circle is very necessary. The opponent must have achievements and fame to attract a lot of attention from Junico, but the opponent must not be too strong, and the first fight outside the circle is very important, and she must ensure that she can win.
After a comprehensive selection, Juniku chose the strongest UFC fighter in Asia: Zhang Weili.
After deliberately choosing a kickboxing format that was beneficial to her, in order to prevent Zhang Weili from fighting, Juniku also deliberately recorded a mocking video, saying, "Zhang Weili should not dare to accept my challenge, thinking that she is a rookie in this field, and if she fights, I will beat her into a coffin." ”
In the face of Junico's provocation, Zhang Weili chose to fight.
One-sided game
At this time, Zhang Weili has no opponents in the same level in China, and as the owner of the gold belt, it is reasonable for her to refuse Junicole's challenge, after all, Juniku is only a fledgling teenager on the world stage at this time.
Juniku is a piece of gold, but the entire UFC arena is splendid, and every fighter on the field is a unique powerhouse.
But Zhang Weili still chose to fight, on the one hand, as a mixed martial arts fighter, it is also a kind of exercise to play while limiting herself, and on the other hand, Junico's provocation is really a bit excessive.
With an order, the game between the two officially began.
Junicole's height of 170 cm gives her a big advantage in terms of arm span, and her attack range is farther and more range than Zhang Weili's.
Zhang Weili, on the other hand, needs to break through the opponent's attack range to perform, but the inability to use skills such as grabbing and falling limits Zhang Weili's close combat, and the opponent's knee skills will have a lot of room to play when hugging and fighting.
As soon as the game came up, Juan's desire to attack was extremely strong, and she tried Zhang Weili's next game many times.
After several rounds of probing, Zhang Weili also tried to fight back with the opponent's low kick, but Zhu Nicole was very steady in her lower game, and she would immediately raise her knee after every kick.
The average fighter would make a mistake at this point and couldn't find a breaking point in such a disadvantaged situation, but Zhang Weili, as an experienced major fighter, quickly had a way to deal with it.
With Juniku another straight punch to test, Zhang Weili suddenly exerted force, and one sideways dodged the straight punch and stepped forward to approach Junico's middle door, and both fists went straight to Junico's face door one after another.
Zhu Nicole was obviously a little flustered in the face of Zhang Weili's sudden force, first wanted to elbow back to do the classic double-arm defense of Muay Thai, and then found that she was too passive and wanted to raise her fist to counterattack, and lost the best opportunity in a back and forth, and was hit by Zhang Weili several punches.
After breaking out a few punches, Zhang Weili immediately stepped forward and hugged Zhu Nike directly, the advantage of this is that the distance between the two makes Zhu Nicole's knees not strong enough, even if it is forced, there is no accumulation, and it is difficult to be lethal.
After being pulled away by the referee, Zhu Nicole didn't have a good way to deal with it for a while, and began to frequently use frontal straight kicks to grasp the distance from Zhang Weili to prevent being close again.
This once again reflects the difference between being experienced in boxing and not being experienced, with a large forward kick, obvious advance action, and a clear closing action, which gives Zhang Weili the opportunity to attack.
The bow retracted and bent to dodge Junico's forward kick, and then took advantage of her strength to close to the force and landed a few heavy punches, directly knocking her to the edge of the ring.
Junico, who was suppressed despite her advantage, survived the first round, and after a short break, she obviously didn't think of a good way to deal with it, and she didn't even dare to do the tentative leg moves before at the beginning of the second round.
In the face of Zhang Weili's attack, Zhu Nicole's trick was left with a hug, and while Zhang Weili was close, she stepped forward to hug her at the same time, trying to delay time with this rogue trick.
Zhang Weili once said: "If you feel scared in the ring, then victory will be farther and farther away from you." ”
The body, the control of the hands, and the control of the timing, Zhu Nike showed a clear gap with Zhang Weili, and the second round basically ended under Zhang Weili's comprehensive suppression.
Since the kickboxing match uses gloves instead of the finger gloves used in mixed martial arts, the damage is half leaked before the opponent can exert force, and if it is mixed martial arts, I am afraid that Zhang Weili has been knocked out after receiving so many heavy punches.
In the second round, Zhang Weili won a huge points advantage, and if nothing else, the victory was already divided.
Juniku clearly didn't want to lose the match, so she went into the third round and gave up defending against Zhang's offense in favor of a counter-attack in an attempt to score a knockout turnaround point disadvantage.
But in the ring, Zhang Weili has not been afraid of anyone, and after a few punches and kicks, Zhu Nike couldn't help but feel a little cowardly, and began to keep jumping and dragging in the ring to delay time.
At this time, whether she will think of her pre-match ambitions, no one knows except herself.
As the bell rang, Zhang Weili immediately closed her fist and bowed to Zhang Weili to salute her opponent, Zhu Nike nodded lightly with a sense of relief, and walked to the ring very embarrassed and drank a few sips of water.
There was no suspense in the result of the game, Zhang Weili bombarded hundreds of punches throughout the whole process, comprehensively suppressed Zhu Ni, and won the game with a big lead. This match did not appear in Zhang's career record, and it is clear that she positioned the nature of this match as an exhibition match.
On the contrary, for Junico, this bout left a strong mark on her career, and she writes in her profile that at the age of 19, she fought three rounds against Asia's best UFC fighter Zhang Weili.
