I think it's the opposite: she's always been a very disciplined mma fighter. Her lacking was really in the basics, with wrestling and BJJ being her weaker points. Shea's always a very mentally & physically strong person, with superb athleticism, power, and mobility, with powerful strikes. But those things obviously aren't always enough, when you're fighting another elite fight (with comparable skills) who has better tactics, like Rose. Rose won due to her better tactics (which allowed her to eke out a win in the second fight and which also allow her to out maneuver and suprise Zhang in their first fight with that out of nowhere kick). I have always felt Zhang needed some Western coaches --- who are more experienced in dealing with both elite fighters and the UFC --- to add to her core Chinese coaching staff.... because almost entirely the elite fighters she'd face are from the West (Europe, North America, South America, etc), not from Asia. Few, if any, of her Chinese/Asian coaches had experience fighting as former elite fighters or trainers having trained other elite Western fighters previously. THAT lacking was not, is not insignificant... It impacted Zhang's game planning. Very few athletes could just "wing it" and win the most important contests of their lives; MOST need elite coaches who design good fighting strategies and tactics... so a good fighter could maximize his or her skills, at the various crucial points, where a tiny wrong decision or wrong move could cost you the fight, even if skill for skill you're just as good as your opponent or even better...

Love how she always gives great respect to her opponents and NEVER has boring fights trying to win on points.

Weili never failed to keep giving credits to all her opponents including Andrade, Joanna, Rose & Carla. Meanwhile Rose, had so much to say about Weili & portraying her as a villain coming to fight Weili. Carla also suddenly denies Weili's spot as the title challenger even after she said it herself that the winner of weili vs joanna 2.0 would be fighting the winner of herself vs rose 2.0. Carla also posted a face of frustrating Weili when she was KOed but Weili responded with a great poster of herself & Carla. I guess respect is taught well by Weili's parents but not at Rose or Carla's😎

So many people assume champions that are undefeated are the GOAT. I respectfully disagree. The real challenge is bouncing back after losing...that's a champion. We've seen great fighters that can't recover mentally after a loss. More credit should be given to those that don't get fazed, keep training, and create more opportunities to reclaim the gold.

Love Zhang! I hope she learns English and can interact with reporters and fans. She's already a star with so much charm, but her popularity and marketability would increase tremendously, if she has English mastered enough for interviews, at least. Her "...remember me!" sentence alone was so unforgettable. Zhang & team, make it happen!

Very philosophical, I think it's an acceptance to her first defeat to Rose where she didn't accept it at first. The second time she was defeated, she readily accepted and then went on to work even harder. It's a healthy mentality to have to not be over-obsessed with the possession of the belt where ultimately, you can only control your own conditioning, training and strategy but not the outcome.

Mindset of a true champion.

I like how she walk away immediately after hit Joanna.

_If you lay one brick perfectly, one day at a time every single day, soon you will have a wall_ Wise words right there.

She's my favorite UFC fighter

love from amercia we love you Zhang Weili

Turn your hands inward on your back extension roll. This will give you extra pop to return to the fight. Your country has the best linguists in gymnastics. You can learn a great deal from its history. Best of luck...you will be champion again. 🏆

She will dominate in the title fight.

Zhang Weili is quite possibly the most wholesome UFC fighter since Randy Couture.
