A decade ago, Zhang Weili was handing out flyers to rushing commuters in front of her local subway station. Now she’s considered one of the best women’s mixed-martial arts (MMA) fighters in history.
Zhang, born in China’s northern Hebei province, is her country’s first and only champion in US-based promotion the Ultimate Fighting Championship . The 34-year-old defended her strawweight title in a domination of Brazil’s Amanda Lemos in August, a performance that left UFC broadcaster Joe Rogan calling her “maybe the greatest of all time.
“When I first started meditation, my back started cramping five minutes in,” said Zhang, who was introduced to the practice by coach Cai Xuejun. “We live a busy life and rarely have time to sit down, close our eyes and talk to ourselves. We are constantly running around and busy with trivial things. “How often do we have real conversations with ourselves? I never would. It’s about looking inside and finding a balance between moving and being static; excitement and calm.
