Crazy 1st round between Zhang and Yan. Yan looked great on the feet. Accurate, powerful and keeping Weili at range. But good god, she looked bad on the mat. Gave up her back going for a weird overhook on Zhang as she was in side control.

Yan Xaionan goes out on a RNC by Zhang with 1 second left but comes to just when the ref asks if she can get to her feet.

UFC 300 (13/04/2024)

Weili Zhang defends strawweight title. Takes UD over Yan Xiaonan after submitting and TKO-ing her early in fight.

If Yan Xiaonan was even a semi-competent wrestler/grappler, she'd be champ right now. She was clearly the better striker in this one. Anytime she got extended time on her feet, she was lighting Zhang up. I think we all underestimated the size difference here cause Yan was huge next to Zhang. Big and strong with a really stiff 1-2 that she used to catch Zhang anytime she tried to close distance or kick the leg. For as bad as her grappling is, Yan has evolved into a really solid technical striker with some pop. Dropped Zhang twice in this one.

But this fight came down to the wrestling skills of Zhang. Repeatedly, she was able to take Yan down. Almost at will. She took her down at the end of the 1st and locked up a RNC with like 15 seconds left that appeared to put Yan to sleep. The bell forced a break and Yan managed to stumble to her feet after prompted by Herzog so the fight continued. Then Zhang got her down in the 2nd round early and spent most of the round pounding Yan from mount or back mount. At one point Zhang landed like 20 unanswered shots, but Yan kept moving so Herzog let it play out. And to her credit, she managed to get back up to her feet before the round ended. The third was much stronger for Yan as Zhang was gassed from basically finishing her twice. Spent the round getting countered, swinging at air, and getting dropped by Yan. Zhang got dropped again in the early part of round 4 but managed to get a takedown near the fence and rack up a lot of GnP (like 70 strikes). Same in the 5th to lock up the fight.

A real gut test for Zhang who showed she's not as far away from the rest of strawweight as we'd all like to think. Like I said, if Yan was a slightly better wrestler/grappler, she's the champ right now. Now let me see Zhang face Tatiana Suarez.
