Zhang Weili officially has started training camp for her first title defense.
UFC strawweight champion Weili (20-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) takes on former champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk (16-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) at UFC 248 on March 7.
YouTube channel “Teach, Train and Travel” has released a video showing some of the champ’s strength and conditioning training in preparation for her fight against Jedrzejczyk.
The channel features an array of videos surrounding Weili’s life, as well as her continued pursuit to learn the English language.
Weili captured the title this past August in her home country of China. She ran through Jessica Andrade in just 42 seconds to become the first Chinese UFC champion in history. She’ll attempt her first title defense against former UFC strawweight queen Jedrzejczyk.
