UFC Beijing results: Zhang Weili submits Jessica Aguilar at Fight Night 141 to announce herself as title threat
- Chinese strawweight wows Cadillac Arena with arm bar finish
- Calls for top-five opponent next after submitting Aguilar
China’s Zhang “Magnum” Weili formally announced herself as a future title threat in the UFC’s strawweight division on Saturday night, throwing Mexican-American Jessica “Jag” Aguilar down, messing her up, then finishing her off with an arm bar all before the first-round bell has sounded.
“This is the true me. This is how I fight,” Zhang told a packed Cadillac Arena.
And didn’t the locals just love it.
When Aguilar (20-7) tapped out at 3.41 of the first, it made it win number 17 on the trot for Zhang (18-1), and two straight of those have now come inside the UFC’s Octagon.
What’s more impressive in terms of where this particular story is all headed is that fact that Aguilar was up until not too long ago considered the best strawweight on the planet.
