Zhang Weili and Sehudo
Although Zhang Weili's answer is not as arrogant as Ross's, according to the situation understood by the sports news tree, it seems that everyone should be more confident in Zhang Weili's second battle. This is because during the period when Zhang Weili was preparing for the battle, she did have a very strong team behind her, which not only improved Zhang Weili's confidence, but more importantly, Zhang Weili's technology was indeed upgraded to the "2.0 version".
Fight ready bootcamp
According to foreign media reports, in order to shame before the second world war, Zhang Weili moved her training camp to Scottsdale, Arizona, in September this year. This is also the first time that Zhang Weili has prepared for overseas. The city of Scottsdale is small, but the straight ready camps that run there are well known. The camp was attended by famous MMA coaches Santino de Franco, Eric Albarracín and Eddie Cha.
At the training camp in Arizona, Zhang Weili officially began working with Henry Cejudo. "3c" Sehudo is not only the 2008 Beijing Olympics freestyle wrestling 55 kg champion, but also one of the few UFC double champions.
In a recent conversation with the media, Zhang Weili was full of praise for Sehudo, saying: "I learned a lot of wrestling skills from Henry, as well as distance control in actual combat, psychological warfare problems, and of course, I also learned some things about willpower. I think it all made me stronger. ”

The Bellator is the second largest fighting event in the world after the UFC. It is understood that Freire began practicing jiu-jitsu from the age of 10 and was strong.
Zheng Zansheng
Another master Asian fighting fan may be more familiar, he is the UFC Asian brother "Korean zombie" Zheng Chansheng. "Korean Zombie" Jeong Chan-sung is The most famous fighter in South Korea. Zheng Zansheng challenged the featherweight champion Jose Aldo in 2013, but due to Zheng Zansheng's dislocation of his arm, he lost the game and failed to win the championship. Zheng Zansheng's style in the game is very tough, in the confrontation, no matter what heavy blows, he will always fight, like a zombie and never flinch. According to Zhang Weili's team members revealed to the media, after Zhang Weili arrived at the US training camp, "Korean zombie" Zheng Zansheng was able to fly directly from South Korea to the seven ready training camp to help Zhang Weili train.
After arriving in the United States, Zhang Weili completely made up for the lack of training in China. You know, when in Beijing, Zhang Weili's training was carried out in the Black Tiger Fighting Club, but even if the conditions were good in domestic clubs, it was difficult to find a higher level of sparring, which was an obstacle to the improvement of Zhang Weili's actual combat level. After arriving in the United States, it was completely different.
Not long ago, Zhang Weili wrote on her social media: "Thanks to the captain coach for teaching me how to wrestle, I really learned a lot", the captain is Eric Albarracin, and she also uploaded a video of the captain falling on the mat.
