10 Spine-Tingling UFC Homecomings
6. Zhang Weili (China, UFC Fight Night: Andrade Vs Zhang)
Now to the woman who ended Jessica Andrade's feel-good party and by god did she make a statement in doing so.
Before UFC Fight Night 157, Zhang Weili was a fighter quietly establishing herself as one of the fasting rising stars in all of the UFC and she'd already enjoyed the sweet taste of victory in her home city of Beijing in 2018.
So, how could she top the feeling of coming out on top in the country of her birth?
Doing it again, but this time for the UFC Strawweight title and in dramatic fashion.
Ending Andrade's reign in a mere 42 seconds, the fans in Shenzhen completely lost their minds and produced a level of noise that rivalled any UFC reaction that came before the jaw-dropping moment.
It was shocking to see a star with just three UFC bouts under her belt handle the big stage in such a dominant fashion. However, with an impressive 19-1 record coming into the fight, Zhang clearly demonstrated her ruthlessness when faced with an opportunity to become the top woman in the division.
A Performance of the Night award would follow and Zhang now finds herself with a large target on her back as the reigning champ. That being said, if any of her title defences take place in her native China, pray for the poor soul that dares to try and steal the belt away from the country's new favourite MMA star.
