Here's the match video of Carla Esparza defending her UFC Strawweight Championship against Zhang Weili at UFC 281 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. This fight went about like I thought it would. Carla's only hope was to use her wrestling to sit on Weili for 25 minutes. I didn't think Carla would be able to do that. I think Carla and her coach Colin Oyama miscalculated. They underestimated Weili's ground skills. I'm sure they realized that after round one. And then Weili finished Carla with a rear naked choke in round two. One of the interesting things about this match is the crowd cheered Weili and booed Carla. In the past Weili was booed. This was because of how Carla won the title. Afterwards Weili said she wants her first title defense in China. We shall see. Weili looked great in this fight. Enjoy the video!
