Former strawweight champion Zhang Weili failed to reclaim her title at UFC 268. After 25 minutes, Weili (21-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) fell for the second straight time to champ Rose Namajunas (11-4 MMA, 9-3 UFC) in Saturday’s co-main event. After ending up on the wrong side of a split decision, the first Chinese champion in UFC history believes she was on the right path to victory. “I feel very good, but it’s a shame I didn’t win the fight,” Weili told MMA Junkie and other reporters through a translator at the post-fight press conference. “I think the overall gameplan worked well, but I did maybe 60 or 70 percent of what I could do. I feel sorry for the coaches because they did a tremendous job for me in this training camp.” The differences in plans were apparent as the fight played out, thanks to her training at Fight Ready in Arizona with former UFC two-division champion Henry Cejudo
