On November 7, Beijing time, two eye-catching championship matches will be held in Madison Garden Plaza in New York. In the headline main event, the current sub-middleweight champion Kamaru Usman will play Colby Covington again, and in the joint home race, Zhang Weili will play the new women's grassweight champion Rose Namajunas.
Zhang Weili is the first UFC champion in Chinese history, and it is her achievements that have made many people begin to understand the sport. In August 2019, Zhang Weili won the title by defeating Jessica Andrade in the first leg of the UFC competition by TKO.
In March last year, Zhang Weili narrowly won Joanna in the first championship defense battle, which was named the "best showdown of the year" in 2020 by several professional media.
However, in the match with Rose in April this year, Zhang Weili was terminated by the "Mob Rose" Rose KO, losing the "golden belt", swallowing the second defeat of her career, and ending the 21 consecutive wins at that time, which could only see Rose become the first female player in UFC history to regain the world championship title.
After the match, Zhang Weili was once involved in controversy, and the outside world questioned her strength. Zhang Weili calmly faced the defeat on the field, she also knew that her results were the best way to fight back against the doubts, after the game, she said on her personal social platform that she hoped that the UFC could arrange her second match with Rose as soon as possible.
After half a year, Zhang Weili's expectations came true, and the second battle of "gun and rose" determined the time. Compared with Zhang Weili, it seems that the only people who can't get out of the shadow of that defeat are those onlookers, and many people are not optimistic that Zhang Weili can create different results when she meets Rose again.
More professionals believe that the main reason for Zhang Weili's failure in the last confrontation was that there was a prejudgment error in Rose's movements, and Zhang Weili was hit in the chin by Rose's concealed high sweep leg in the process of leaning backwards to avoid her estimated mid-sweep, resulting in Zhang Weili being DEFEATed by KO in the first leg. There is a certain contingency in such a game process, and this contingency plays a decisive role in the outcome of that game.
In the six months that the two were preparing for each other, the Ross team specifically deployed how to deal with Zhang Weili's standing advantage, so Zhang Weili's standing technology may not be able to serve as a powerful killer. But Zhang Weili is by no means without advantages, her ground fighting ability and strength are much stronger than Rose's, which can create opportunities for her.
The master duel is in an instant, and it is necessary to see who can catch this second!
