As far as this game is concerned, it is indeed very exciting! Zhang Weili has comprehensive skills and has a clear advantage in the second half of the game. Yan Xiaonan is good at striking and caused a lot of trouble for Zhang Weili in the first half. But the referee finally ruled that Yan Xiaonan lost. Although Yan Xiaonan lost, her strength was still recognized by many people. More importantly, through this battle, the two Chinese players showed their Chinese strength! At the same time, it also made more people know Yan Xiaonan!
In 1989, Yan Xiaonan was born in Liaoning. Influenced by his father, who liked martial arts, Yan Xiaonan liked martial arts at a very young age. She entered the martial arts school at the age of 13 and learned martial arts routines, and switched to sanda at the age of 15. She then won the Liaoning Sanda Championship and entered the Liaoning Provincial Team. In 2006, Yan Xiaonan entered Xi'an Institute of Physical Education to continue practicing sanda, under the tutelage of coach Zhao Xuejun. It was here that she was first introduced to mixed martial arts. Yan Xiaonan entered the arena in 2008 and retired in 2012. After retiring, he returned to the game with the help of his senior brother Zhang Tiequan. In 2017, Yan Xiaonan signed a contract with the UFC, becoming the first female fighter in China to sign with the UFC. In May 2023, Yan Xiaonan defeated Jessica Andrade by TKO for her first stoppage victory. As a result, he won the right to challenge the champion Zhang Weili! Of course, the first challenge also ended in failure.
Some media reports revealed Yan Xiaonan's love life. It is reported that Yan Xiaonan married Zhang Yang as early as 8 years ago. Maybe the heart is in the competition, Yan Xiaonan went to participate in the competition three days after getting married. According to rumors from the outside world, Yan Xiaonan's love life is very light! The husband and wife live separately from sex all year round. Yan Xiaonan revealed many times during the live broadcast that he is currently "single". Of course, when many netizens saw the photos of their marriage at that time, they all praised Zhang Yang: This guy must be very rich!
For a boxer, abstinence should be an unavoidable topic! Zhang Zhilei has previously revealed that during his ten years of training and study in the United States, he and his wife have also spent less time together. He also goes home once or twice a year, and Zhang Zhilei revealed that every time he abstains from sex a few months before the competition, in order to make the competition more focused. This is not easy for normal people. But for the sake of the goal, they had to give up!
Now more and more Chinese boxers are stepping onto the world arena! The future of Chinese boxing is getting better and better! I believe that in the future, boxing will become the business card of Chinese sports! Come on!
