20 1 1 On 27th, 30-year-old Zhang Tiequan made her debut at UFC. It took only 48 seconds to beat American veteran Jess Leonhardt with guillotine tactics, which was almost the peak of Zhang Tiequan's sports career.
In China, many mixed martial arts athletes have a difficult dormant period before they become famous. Zhang Weili, who is well known today, worked as a kindergarten teacher, cashier and gym front desk before becoming famous. The same is true of older Zhang Tiequan, who moved cement and sand before joining the sports team, worked as a vegetable delivery man, a security guard, and also sent a gas tank, working during the day and training at night. This life lasted for several years.
Personal experience
Speaking of MMA in China, I have to say "the first person of UFC" Zhang Tiequan. 1978, Zhang Tiequan was born in the left banner of Horqin, Inner Mongolia. Growing up on the grassland, he likes sports very much. In junior high school, Zhang Tiequan began to practice wrestling with his teacher, but because of his poor family, he was forced to drop out of school and go home one year later. It is this tough environment that tempered Zhang Tiequan's tough character, which was fully exerted in his later MMA career.
As for the ufc incident in Zhang Tiequan, it was really distressing for him to go to Japan alone. Although Zhang Tiequan lost the game, no one blamed him because he felt worthless. Zhang Tiequan went to Japan to compete alone, and it happened on 20 12. Without any sponsorship, Zhang Tiequan took part in ucf Japan Competition.
