After her third UFC fight, Weili Zhang picked up the biggest win of her MMA career tonight. Zhang initially kept her distance as she landed kicks from her long range and chopping Tecia’s legs whenever she found an opening. Tecia looked to close the distance and rough up the Chinese contender but got caught in the process with Zhang’s punches. Zhang got Tecia’s attention when she began attempting take downs, but Torres scrambled up to her feet. Tecia scores her own take down but it was too late as Zhang had already advanced in judges scorecard with her striking and take downs. Zhang continues her win streak to 19-1 and sends a statement to the strawweight division to remember her name.
