The world champion of the UFC women’s strawweight division, the Chinese Zhang Weili, who is known as ‘Magnum’ and is 34 years old, managed to defeat the world ranked number five of the women’s 115-pound division in the UFC , Brazilian Amanda Lemos, who is known as ‘Amandinha’ and is 36 years old, following obtaining a unanimous decision victory in the fight that was the co-main event of the UFC 292 card, which took place at the TD Garden in the city of Boston, Massachusetts.
A strategic start that was broken when Weili kicked and they went to the floor fight with dominance for the champion, who was looking for space to attack from the ground and pound, which she was able to connect on several occasions, however, a mistake by Weili seemed to make the Brazilian take advantage of the situation to seek a submission but she was not in the correct position and might not find it, rather she was left in a disadvantageous position and ‘Magnum’ took the opportunity to punish her incessantly, towards the end of the round Lemos tried something spectacular but she fell once more in a disadvantageous position but without time for the champion to finish the fight.
The second round began very dynamic in the striking but following a minute they would go to the ground, once more with an advantageous position for ‘Magnum’, who worked from the ground and pound but also working on a submission and with more than enough time to achieve it. However, ‘Amandinha’ was able to stand up, although it would not be for long since following a few seconds they would return to the floor fight, but this time only so that ‘Magnum’ continued adding control time in front of the judges.
By the start of the third round, the dynamics remained the same, the champion dominated in all aspects of the fight and imposed her rhythm at will. She once more won her rival’s back and punished her from the ground and pound, always winning her position. Although she stood up, the fight was tied once morest the octagon fence and when she returned to the center, the best blows were still connected by the champion.
In the fourth round, the intensity of ‘Magnum’ was maintained while ‘Amandinha’ adopted the strategy of counterattacking to try to connect the accurate and forceful blow that ended the fight and had a positive effect, since he brought his rival to the canvas following a good blow that landed, however, the champion quickly got to her feet to then achieve a new takedown that ended up taking advantage of Lemos, who had the opportunity to finish, but fell short in her attempt. The fight continued in the striking but it would end without major shocks.
The champion started the fight at the rhythm of kicks, but it was a powerful right hand that brought Lemos to the canvas, who attempted a submission but ‘Magnum’ took the opportunity to continue punishing the challenger with blows by effectively reversing the submission attempt. Weili dominated the rest of the round with punches and time control, while Amanda finished the fight very beaten and tired.
