Zhang Weili submits Carla Esparza to reclaim strawweight title

From: ESPN

Zhang Weili became China's first UFC champion in 2019, when she took the strawweight title from Jessica Andrade. On Saturday, she also became China's second UFC champion.

Zhang (23-3) reclaimed her 115-pound championship by submitting Carla Esparza (19-7) in the second round of their strawweight title fight, which co-headlined UFC 281 inside Madison Square Garden. The finish came at the 1:05 mark via rear-naked choke and made Zhang a champion again for the first time since March 2021.

"Every day I dreamed of this, my belt would come back," Zhang said.

Zhang, 33, has always been one of the best strawweights in the world, but her kryptonite in the UFC has been former champion Rose Namajunas. Zhang lost her title to Namajunas at UFC 261 in March 2021 and lost to her again via split decision in an immediate rematch in November last year.

Esparza took the belt from Namajunas in an upset split decision in May, which helped set up another title shot for Zhang. Although she was the challenger, Zhang went into Saturday's contest as a significant betting favorite, and it showed once the fight began.

The veteran stalked Esparza around the Octagon, and although she didn't land too many shots early, the power difference was obvious. Esparza caught a body kick attempt in the first several minutes and looked to take Zhang down, but Zhang's physicality in the scrambles continued to show up as the fight progressed.

The finish is Zhang's eighth career win by submission and only the second time Esparza has been submitted in her 12-year career. Zhang also becomes the fourth woman in UFC history to become a two-time champion, joining Namajunas, Amanda Nunes and, ironically, Esparza.

Esparza sees a six-fight win streak snapped.

Zhang Weili Wins Back 115-Pound U.F.C. Championship

From: The New York Times

On Wednesday, Zhang Weili said at a news conference that spectators should be ready for a “spectacular moment” on Saturday night. Her moment came quickly, as Zhang used a rear naked choke in the second round to win the strawweight championship, her second time winning the title. Zhang cartwheeled around the ring after the win as the crowd erupted.

Carla Esparza is one of the longest-tenured U.F.C. fighters and was the inaugural strawweight champion in 2014, but seemed outmatched on Saturday night. Esparza was booed the entire fight and had been one of the least popular champions among fans because of her unaggressive approach in her last win.

Zhang won the title for the first time in 2019, when she defeated Jéssica Andrade by a first-round knockout, making her the first Chinese-born U.F.C. champion. Zhang lost her title in April 2021 to Rose Namajunas. A win over Joanna Jedrzejczyk in January earned her this title fight.

Zhang’s first title win came in Shenzhen, China, a moment that she has said was one of the best in her life. On Saturday night, the crowd in New York made her feel like she was back in China, she said.

“I felt the same level of support from all of you guys,” she said through an interpreter.

表示“草量级拳击手，47.6公斤及以下级别的职业拳击手”，英文解释为“professional boxer weighing not more than 47.6 kg (105 pounds)”。

📍职业拳击分为18个级别，18个级别又可归类为7项：重量级、中量级、轻量级、羽量级、雏量级、蝇量级、草量级。草量级是最轻的一级。

作名词，熟词僻义，表示“（竞赛、体育比赛的）冠军”，英文解释为“[C] the position of being the winner of a competition, especially a sports competition”如：the world heavyweight title 重量级世界拳击冠军。

Zhang (23-3) reclaimed her 115-pound championship by submitting Carla Esparza (19-7) in the second round of their strawweight title fight, which co-headlined UFC 281 inside Madison Square Garden. The finish came at the 1:05 mark via rear-naked choke and made Zhang a champion again for the first time since March 2021.

张伟丽（23胜3负）在纽约麦迪逊广场花园球场（Madison Square Garden）内的第二轮草量级冠军赛中击败了19胜6负的卡拉·埃斯帕扎（Carla Esparza），夺回了她草量级（115磅）冠军金腰带。比赛在1分05秒时，张伟丽通过裸绞（rear-naked choke）的方式击败对手获得冠军，这是自2021年3月以来张伟丽再次成为冠军。

那些男人把他推进了附近一座大楼的入口处，然后在那里用他的领带将他勒死了。

"Every day I dreamed of this, my belt would come back," Zhang said.

“我每天都梦想着这一刻，我的金腰带会回来的，”张伟丽说。

Zhang, 33, has always been one of the best strawweights in the world, but her kryptonite in the UFC has been former champion Rose Namajunas. Zhang lost her title to Namajunas at UFC 261 in March 2021 and lost to her again via split decision in an immediate rematch in November last year.

33岁的张伟丽一直是世界上最优秀的草量级选手之一，但她在UFC中的“克星”是前冠军罗斯·纳马朱纳斯（Rose Namajunas）。张伟丽在2021年3月的UFC 261中输给了纳马朱纳斯，并在去年11月一场立即重赛中分歧判定（split decision）再次输给了她。

Esparza took the belt from Namajunas in an upset split decision in May, which helped set up another title shot for Zhang. Although she was the challenger, Zhang went into Saturday's contest as a significant betting favorite, and it showed once the fight began.

今年5月，埃斯帕扎在一次爆冷的分歧判定中击败了纳马朱纳斯赢得金腰带，这有助于张伟丽再次争夺冠军。尽管她是挑战者，但张伟丽在周六的比赛中成为了投注夺冠热门选手，比赛一开始开始这一点就显现出来了。

Esparza caught a body kick attempt in the first several minutes and looked to take Zhang down, but Zhang's physicality in the scrambles continued to show up as the fight progressed.

这位老将在八角笼中紧随埃斯帕扎，尽管她前期没有击中太多，但力量差异是显而易见的。埃斯帕扎在最初的几分钟内控住了张伟丽踢出的边腿，并试图将张伟丽控倒，但随着比赛的进行，张伟丽的身体优势继续显现出来。

最终，张伟丽获得了职业生涯中的第八次降伏取胜，也是埃斯帕扎12年职业生涯中第二次被降伏。张伟丽，也是继纳马朱纳斯、阿曼达·努内斯（Amanda Nunes）和具有讽刺意味的埃斯帕扎之后，成为UFC历史上第四位获得两届冠军的女性，

卡拉·埃斯帕扎是资历最老的UFC拳手之一，也是2014年的首届UFC冠军，但在周六晚上似乎被击败了。在上场获胜的比赛中，由于她过于消极缺乏进攻性，埃斯帕扎遭到观众嘘声，她是粉丝中最不受欢迎的冠军之一。
