Zhang Weili vs. Amanda Lemos round-by-round results

Round 1 — Weili

You almost feel bad for Lemos. At one point in the match, Weili had a 63 to 1 strike advantage.

Weili dominated on the ground, except for a slight submission scare, but it was a wild and fun first round.

Round 2 — Weili

Through two rounds, this isn’t much of a fight. The champion is the champ for a reason. She did whatever she wanted in that second round.

Round 3 — Weili

Lemos is putting up a fight, sure, but it’s not amounting to much. She’s surviving, and that’s about it.

Round 4 — Weili

This wasn’t quite as dominant a round from the champion as she’s slowed down considerably from her break-neck pace earlier. Still, she won the round comfortably.

Round 5 — Weili

Lemos is one tough fighter. She got rocked and ground and pounded all round, but she didn’t give up. Unfortunately for her, she was just outmatched the entire bout.
