The main battle at UFC 248 this morning (Sunday, Israel Watch) promised much and did not exist, with Israel Adesnia and Joel Romero delivering 25 minutes without special action in the Octagon, with the New Zealand champion retaining his title. Fortunately for the fans at the Las Vegas Hall and viewers around the world, Zang Wiley and Iwana Yandejichic made a big dent on the default.
A few hours before International Women’s Day, the two presented a confident candidate for this year’s 2020 battle and 25 minutes to enter the MMA pantheon. The Chinese champion, who passed the training camp in Abu Dhabi due to the Korna virus, and the former champion from Poland, did not let go of each other for a moment and provided a mighty classic that will be remembered for many years.
At the end of the drama, Zang Wiley was a handgun in a split judges’ decision (47:48, 47:48, 48:47) en route to keeping the weight-weight belt (52kg) in her first defense. Inside the Octagon. ”I was pretty sure I won. It was a great performance, “said the champion, who also spoke about the dire situation in China:” We can beat the Corona. Our country is currently suffering tragedy, but we are fighting together and winning.
Yandezhik, known for her trash talk before the fights, properly honored the winner: “She did a great job, I felt her fists. Congratulations to the champion. I am very glad we put up a good fight.” Good fight to say the least – the fight, which was crowned the night’s fight, won one of the fighters for $ 50,000, besides their salary.
Properly and predictably, across the network responded to events and defined the two as “the best women’s battle in history.” These are the most prominent reactions:
