Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Weili Zhang vs Danielle Taylor

Here's the match video of Weili Zhang vs Danielle Taylor from last night's UFC show in Los Angeles. This aired on the UFC Fight Pass prelims. When Danielle came to the UFC, she was a former King Of The Cage champ supposedly with punching power. In the UFC, she has become a points fighter because of her height. She keeps her distance looking for that one big punch that never happens. Weili comes to the UFC with a 16 fight winning streak mostly in Chinese companies like Kunlun. The fight is boring mostly because Danielle is a boring fighter. In round one, Weili uses kicks and some punches to win the round 10-9. A lot of this fight was Weili chasing Danielle around the cage. The big difference is that Weili throws combinations and kicks and Danielle is looking for that one big punch. She could use combinations to set that up and her corner even tells her to do that...but she doesn't. So it wasn't a great fight but I scored it 30-27 for Weili. The judges all scored it 29-28 for Weili. They all scored round two for Danielle as she landed a big punch at the end of the round. Fortunately Weili didn't take things for granted and she won round three. But I thought the fight wasn't as close as the scores. Weili said she was happy she won but she wasn't happy with her performance. We'll see how she does in her next fight. The UFC is going to Beijing on Nov. 24. That's Weili's home town. As for Danielle, she doesn't belong in the UFC. Enjoy the video!
