To prepare for her next fight, Zhang Weili has shifted her camp to the U.S., and she has been training with the former two-division UFC champion, Henry Cejudo.
Weili will take on Rose Namajunas in the rematch from UFC 261 and try to reclaim the UFC women’s strawweight title. Weili lost the belt via knockout in the first round. The pair will meet again at UFC 268, and it is bound to be an exciting affair.
The Chinese fighter shifted her camp to America more than a month back and has been preparing for the fight with Henry Cejudo. She recently posted a video of herself working on her takedowns with the former champ. In the caption, she wrote, “A very full day. Thanks to all coaches. Learn a little and make a little progress every day谢谢 @henry_cejudo @cptamericas @eddie_cha You all belong to wrestling and love wrestling. I learn to wrestle and I fall in love with it.”
