Here's the fight video of Zhang Weili defending her UFC Strawweight Championship against Amanda Lemos from last night's UFC show in Boston. For this fight, Zhang trained with the Hickman Brothers in Thailand. Amanda is from Belem, Brazil. She trains with Marajo Brothers which is former UFC fighter Iuri Alcantara and his brother Ildemar. Amanda's main offensive weapon is her striking. She's a very hard puncher who could knock anyone out given the opportunity. Zhang's strategy was to take Amanda down and not allow her to establish her striking. Zhang took Amanda down early in round one and simply dominated her for five rounds. Round four was the only close round. And by that time, Amanda wasn't the same fighter that she would have been in round one. Zhang couldn't get a finish but she dominated the fight. I scored it 50-44. So what's next for Zhang Weili? That depends. The UFC is thinking about running a show in China next year. If they do that, Yan Xiaonan is the likely challenger. Otherwise Tatiana Suarez is probably the best challenger. Enjoy the video!
