    This a problem in UFC with these Beast women flopping back and forth from one weight division to another to get easy wins on much smaller girls. Tatiana is a 125lb. fighter. says so on her wicki. She belongs in Flyweight. Or is it too tough there to be champion? You have to drop weight and sub Weili if you can? Weili to date has never faced a UFC opponent smaller than herself. Fighters should have to commit to a certain weight class in writing. If you were so dominate from the beginning in Flyweight why bounce around? Especially after admitting yourself that cutting from 125 to 115 left you feeling weak with no energy. That's your body telling you it's not your normal weight. You also talk smack about Rose but won't stay in Flyweight to face her either. Pounding on little Carla Esparza should have been a wake up call to the UFC. A heavier stronger fighter dropping weight to pummel smaller women for cheap wins.

    Growing up in LA doesn't change your nationality. She is an American who grew up in a Chicano culture. Even if she has friends who were born in Mexico - that still doesn't change her nationality. She needs to own her nationality while still maintaining pride in having a partial Mexican heritage/background. But, no! She is NOT Mexican! Stop saying that, Tatiana!

    I would feel weird calling myself French or Swedish and not speaking or having lived in those countries, in spite of having those roots. Mexican American are weird in that sense, they would absolutely not live in Mexico (that’s why they live in the USA), yet they are proud Mexicans, even if most speak horrendous Spanish…😅

    Tatiana vs Zhang is gonna be a shut out. People are going to be shocked! People are gonna expect Weili to beat Tatiana at her own game and when she tries shes getting absolutely big sistered in the octagon. Fans will act surprised by how easily Suarez takes her down and when Zhang cant get up. EVERY TIME someone has attempted a takedown on Zhang they've literally succeeded. Rose went 2/2 on takedowns, Yan went 3/3, Tecia got top position and held her down, Rose held her down in rounds 4&5. Shes not stopping the takedowns or getting back up and she will gas grappling with Tatiana and show less resistance as the rounds go on and she will get choked unconscious in the third round. Zhang wont tap cause shes a warrior so thats why she will go to sleep!
