Here's the fight video of Zhang Weili defending her UFC Strawweight Championship against Rose Namajunas at last night's UFC show in Jacksonville. I guess what we were looking for was an epic fire fight. And instead Rose won with a head kick early in round one. Nothing happened before that. It was the equivalent of a lucky punch. It looked like Rose was throwing a leg kick but she turned it into a head kick. If Zhang sees it coming, she blocks it. It happens sometimes. I try not to read too much into this sort of thing. Others will overanalyze it. Zhang thought the stoppage was too quick and she posted on Instagram that she wants a rematch. Though I don't agree with her about the stoppage, this is the kind of finish that warrants a rematch. As we have seen in the past with Rose, it's one thing to win a title. It's another thing to defend it. Enjoy the video!
Frank, sadly there is no video of this fight. Thanks for the commentary though. Sounds like last night was quite a night of surprises.
