This is one of those fights where for real, no one lost. To perform like this at this level of adversity, for both women, is the height of courage and skill. Precious few fighters could endure this level of mental stress and physical punishment, and still fight to this level of tactical acumen and emotional fortitude.

@@Old299dfk sorry bro gotta say one of the best female fights. It deffo was a very good fight don’t get me wrong mate. But there a lot of fights I would put above this one. But obvs it’s opinion based brother
@@Amzyy none of those are better than this fight. I'm a huge Izzy fan and I've watched Adesanya vs Gastelum more times than I can count. It's not a better fight than this. This was war.
One of the best, but Shogun X Henderson, Bones X Gustafson, Joe Lauzon X Miller, Poirier X Holloway, Bigfoot X Hunt and Aldo X Mendes II are also really lit.
Silly comment. The SW division is the only competitive one in the whole of women's MMA, the others are domnated by one or two highly skilled women, who roll over the other cans of the division, save for one of two upsets.
Entire combat sport history? Damn that's quite the statement. A bit ignorant of a statement I would say. Looking at just boxing alone, here's 10 fights I'd venture are just as good if not better. 1. Gatti vs Ward 1 2. Ali vs Frazier 1 3. Hagler vs Hearns 4. Ali vs Frazier 3 5. Basilio vs Sugar Ray Robinson 1 6. Pryor vs Arguello 1 7. Barrera vs Morales 3 8. Marciano vs Walcott 1 9. Pep vs Saddler 1 10. Zale vs Graziano 1 I'm not even to going to bother listing all the great fights with guys like Duran, Leonard, Chavez Sr, Pacquiao etc. There's far too many to name.
Cormier's "it was right on the bubble!" cracks me up every time LMFAO! Amazing fight, like I said I've rewatched it a number of times and it's still amazing.
Did Zhang try to avoid hitting Joana's face as much as possible after seeing her horrible forehead swallow .. Respect cos it seems she really did that!
I was one of the old school men who was completely against women boxing and mma , infact especially mma.. I would of argued against anyone who was for it til I was blue in the face… but this fight here by these two warriors is by far better than 98% of all male fights in boxing or mma without a doubt… these two fought with so much heart, skill and shear fighting spirit it puts most men to shame!! I can no Longer say woman shouldn’t be fighters if they really want to them who am I to judge… but that was brilliant .. was hard to watch tho as if don’t like seeing woman get hurt👍
I don't like seeing people get hurt in general, but this kind of sport is different. Anyone that gets inside that ring knows what they are going to potentially face. I've been training muay thai for a bit and most people make more comments about how that is good for self defense or loosing weight, but what I want is to feel how it's like to fight.
I remember seeing this fight live and getting super hyped for the fight after this. What a contrast that was. Going from one of the best fights in the UFC, to one of the worst 😂
Was about to look up Zhang Ziyi fight scenes. Spurred by YT suggestions, I just had to come look at whatever was outshining her. Glad I did. Those two are titans.
Yeah, We have to recognize it This is the greatest title fight in UFC, and it was performed by two women. Little but brave ones. Who would say. Just rise your drinks and give respect for this warriors 🍻 🥃 💪.
Coming back to this before the rematch, and its crazy to me that the narrative is that wei li dominated Joanna, its literally one of the most razor thin fights ever. I really wouldnt be suprised if Joanna wins this out. But this is one of those golden fights where the style and skillset of both women mean 99/100 its gonna look somewhat like this
People forget how savage Rory Macdonald was. He was the one who humiliated prime Woodley (before he became "the frozen one" in the second Thompson fight)
So it seems we're getting the rematch. I feel Weili will use wrestling and ensure that this time it isn't as competitive. Her wrestling is a level above what I suspect it was during this fight, and she's not defending, she wants and desperately needs a win after two loses to the current champ.
Interesting. Joanna has always had great TD defense but in a recent interview, she said she’s been working on her ground game and feels she’s a more complete fighter. The rematch will be great.
No doubt the best woman’s fight of all time and Weili definitely fought an incredible fight, but for me Joanna was robbed here! Incredible performance by both fighters though! Would love to see them go again!
Stats wise it was super close, though Joanna had a slight edge. However, from watching the fight it seemed like weili was hurting her more, and that Joanna s head movement could’ve been better. Very close fight anyway and props to both.
I remember watching this live and my mind was absolutely blown by the hits both fighters were taking

Yea this coukd easily have been a draw. The competition was on a par level❤
I still remember Zhang said in an interview"we were both in hospital, i heard she(joanna) was crying, i really feel sorry for her"
It was sport game, they were both great sportswomen, I believe t 10:32 10:32 respect each other, they were not emenies
where can I find the interview?

Never seen a fight like this in my whole life
Me and my father in law watched this live and we both agreed its one of the best fights if not the best we've ever seen
Fury vs wilder. Anthony Joshua vs. Wladimir Klitschko. All of them the best fights.

This is the greatest fight in womens division and one of the greatest fight in recent memory.
Jones vs Gus 1, Adesanya vs Gastelum, Yair vs Korean Zombie all better fights and that’s just three I can name way more
@@Amzyy He said "one of the greatest fights in recent memory", Jones Vs Gus 1 was 8 and a half years ago.

It's definitely up there with the best
One of the best, but Shogun X Henderson, Bones X Gustafson, Joe Lauzon X Miller, Poirier X Holloway, Bigfoot X Hunt and Aldo X Mendes II are also really lit.
Its hard to choose best that's why one of the best
Agreed
Never seen such a fierce fight in my life
The only fight that I can watch over and over again. The technicalities in this one are fookin amazing.
Salute and a bow to both of these warriors, their speed, endurance and will to win is simply incredible.

U can tell Rogan is a true fight fan cause he feels like the luckiest person on the planet to be watching this, thats a real fan right there!!!
One of the best for sure!! Jones vs Gustafsson was a great one too. But for me Lawler vs MacDonald is the greatest title fight ever!!!
Shogan vs Henderson 1 was great too
Figueiredo vs Moreno 1 is absolutely brilliant as well.
Izzy vs Gastelum as well
