Weili Zhang TKO’d Jessica Andrade in Only 42 seconds. Zhang “jumped” on Jessica Andrade and she was like a “bulldozer”.
“Last time when I was in Beijing, I made a commitment, ‘Man, I’m going to be the first-ever champion of the Chinese fighters’,” – Zhang said in her post-fight interview inside the Octagon.
“Today I made it, I want to thank my coaches, my brothers, and sisters, everyone who supported me. I’m so proud to be Chinese. I want to thank my country. My name is Zhang Weili, remember me.”
Jessica Andrade was humble in defeat. “I’d just like to thank China for welcoming me with open arms,” she said. “Props to Weili, hopefully, I get a chance to fight her again, maybe here in China if you guys don’t mind having me. This is my style, I’m aggressive, if I would fight her again you never know, but now I’ve just got to go back to the drawing board and come back stronger.”
