Women's mixed martial arts athlete Zhang Weili, as China's first defending Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's strawweight champion, has attracted more and more attention in recent years.

Recently, after the second battle between her and Joanna was confirmed, Zhang Weili accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from Chinanews.com.

In an interview, she recapped two of last year's failures.

Zhang Weili said frankly that failure brought her a lot of insights, and she will also use failure as a starting point to regain her peak self.

  The second battle with Joanna will be the beginning of Zhang Weili's sailing.

After embarking on the journey of thorns again, Zhang Weili has more sense of mission. The gold belt is no longer her ultimate goal. She hopes that more people will know about this sport.
