Zhang Weili put on one of the greatest performance in a title fight, men's or women's, in UFC history. And yet her vanquished opponent, Amanda Lemos was also a big part of the story when the bout in the co-main event of UFC 292 at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, ended.
Zhang won a unanimous decision by scores of 50-43, 50-44 and 49-45 as she retained the strawweight title in a jaw-dropping performance. Yahoo Sports had it 50-44 for Zhang. Zhang outlanded Lemos 288-21, had six takedowns to zero, scored a knockdown and had 14:52 — nearly three full rounds — of control time.
Lemos, though, never quit trying to win and the few times in the fight that she was on her feet, she landed some hard right hands. But Zhang took advantage of nearly every mistake Lemos made, as she had predicted she would. And other times, Zhang created her own openings.
