BEIJING: Reigning UFC Women's Strawweight champion Zhang Weili returned to China on Sunday, after being stranded in the US for over a month due to the global COVID-19 outbreak. "I can't wait to go back to my homeland! I was too excited to sleep last night," Zhang wrote on her WeChat social media account. The 29-year-old was crowned China's first ever UFC champion in August 2019, and defeated Joanna Jedrzejczyk in Las Vegas last month to retain her strawweight belt.
Zhang will now undergo a mandatory two-week quarantine after arriving at Tianjin Binhai International Airport. IANS
