so a lot of bs going on, on how a 6th ranked zhang got a title shot
basically hottie doesn't want to travel outside USA, JJ also said she "didn't know who zhang was" and didn't want to fight her, so they gave Zhang a title fight against Andrade
(while hottie and JJ fight it out for a title fight)
everyone is pumping up Zhangs performances in China, b/c her two decison wins were in USA, and her trainer (the tiny guy getting super kicked in the previous gifs) couldn't get a VISA to travel to USA, so she's had unknown American sub coaches.
(her two UFC finishes were in China) she has like a 90% finish rate.
Dana said next defense for Zhang will be outside of China.
Fuck the haters.
People should know by now that when Dana calls you about a fight, he doesn't want to fucking split hairs with you unless he can't avoid it. He has events to sell and he needs people who are willing to fight. How many times have we seen a fighter say they'll fight anyone, anywhere, and Dana is standing there looking like he's having an orgasm?
...or you can hem and haw and annoy Dana and either end up with a side-fight, or find yourself w/o a new contract eventually.
I guarantee that Dana first tried asking a few fighters who weren't locked into fights already, they all balked like Hottie did, and Dana just /shrugged and threw Andrade in the mix. Either Andrade couldn't refuse because she needs to defend the belt, or she didn't think Zhang was gonna Zulu her. Hell, she probably thought this was going to be a relatively safe fight. Probably the only reason this ended up a title fight is because no one else who is ranked was available, and willing.
But if Andrade had mauled Zhang, the same people who are whining and crying now would be complaining about how Dana threw a 'can' to Andrade to build her up, even though Zhang is no can.
That Twitter account has to be a troll account, right? Because that entire 'promotionally negligent' bit is so hilariously stupid that it's hard to believe that its real. There's no way Dana is going to keep her fights all in China, LOL. Maybe she'll fight a couple of times elsewhere, then if she still has the belt (LOL) then she'll get another event in China.
