Daniel Cormier praised Zhang Weili after her dominant win at UFC 312
Zhang Weili entered UFC 312 as an underdog against Tatiana Suarez. Aside from the first round of the bout, Weili outclassed Suarez and earned a dominant victory.
Former UFC double-champ Daniel Cormier heaped praise on the reigning strawweight champion for her performance. Taking to his YouTube channel, Cormier said:
"In the co-main event, Zhang Weili again proves why she is the best. I mean, she dominated Tatiana Suarez. She went into that fight as a +240 underdog. I don’t know how anyone bets against this woman, when what she has put on paper in terms of her resume, the people she has beaten, and the way she has beaten them."
Cormier continued:
"I don’t know how you can make Zhang Weili that big of an underdog based on the fact that you believe she will not be able to defend takedowns against Tatiana Suarez."
