Weili Zhang Recaptures Strawweight Championship
2 years agoOur first of two title changes on Saturday night came in the co-main event, where former champion Weili Zhang recaptured her UFC strawweight title from Carla Esparza via second-round rear-naked choke at UFC 281. In 6:00 of action, Zhang collected 37 significant strikes (42 total strikes), dominating in that statistical category. After hurting the champion with a big right hand in the second round, Esparza charged in for a takedown, but Zhang locked in the fight-ending submission to recapture the championship.
