On April 14, Beijing time, UFC 300 will be staged in the United States. At that time, China's two top MMA female fighters, Zhang Weili and Yan Xiaonan, will meet in a narrow way and give it a go for money and honor. As the countdown to the game enters the final stretch, one of the central questions is on whose minds are who will win?
Judging from the predictions and odds of foreign celebrities in the industry, Zhang Weili has an overwhelming advantage, and the reason why the outside world is optimistic about her is mainly based on her competition experience, strength and comprehensiveness. Only a very small number of people are optimistic about Yan Xiaonan and think that she will be a blockbuster.
In all fairness, both of them failed to play top athletes during the period in the system, Zhang Weili also changed careers after retiring from the system at the age of 20 to work as a kindergarten teacher, hotel front desk and other professions, and her basic standing skills are not on the same level as the "Ouchi master" in the system.
Many people are not convinced when I say this, but it is true. Zhang Weili met the national sanda champion Guan Acui when she participated in the Kunlun duel competition, but was beaten by Guan Acui and had a nosebleed, a blue nose and swollen face, and she lost without any temper, and this is the gap!
It is worth mentioning that Yan Xiaonan still has strong traces of sanda when she participates in UFC competitions, and she is very likely to apply Guan Acui's tactics - that is, while kicking the road with her side legs, she controls the distance, controls the rhythm of the game, and curbs Zhang Weili's advance.
Therefore, this battle seems to have a great chance of winning Zhang Weili, but it is only a chance of winning on paper, and everything will not be discovered until the specific competition. Moreover, the UFC itself is an American-run competition, as long as the scene is about the same, how the referee awards points depends on what results can maximize the benefits of the UFC. Zhang Weili has been famous in the UFC for too long, and if Yan Xiaonan is pushed up and the rematch takes place, it will inevitably bring more speculation, and it will be able to cut another wave of leeks in the Chinese market.
To sum up, the probability of Zhang Weili losing this fight is far greater than the appearance of public opinion, and it is not impossible if Yan Xiaonan becomes the new strawweight champion, after all, she is more practical and has a higher appearance.
