Peter Noone (from Herman’s Hermits) once sang “Don’t You Dare Have Lunch With Jeffrey Dahmer,” back when the prolific serial killer was still in the news. Well, he may want to release the sequel, titled “Don’t You Dare Get Leg Kicked By Weili Zhang,” especially after watching this new open workout video from UFC.
Zhang, 30, recently showed off her powerful offense as she prepares to headline the upcoming UFC Fight Night 157 mixed martial arts (MMA) event on ESPN+ (sign up here), where she takes on reigning strawweight champion, Jessica Andrade, this Sat. (Aug. 31, 2019) inside Universiade Sports Centre in Shenzhen, China.
Andrade responded with some Bruce Lee shit:
Looks like someone has been eating their rice and beans.
Zhang (19-1) made her Octagon debut at UFC 227 and quickly emerged as a credible threat to the strawweight crown, winning three straight fights including her unanimous decision victory over Tecia Torres at the UFC 235 pay-per-view (PPV) back in March.
As for Andrade (20-6), she dethroned Rose Namajunas at UFC 237 last May, her fourth straight win and second straight finish since dropping down from the bantamweight division a few years back.
