Shaquille O’Neal, the famous basketball player, learned about the power of shots from Zhang Weili, the UFC fighter.
UFC strawweight champion Zhang Weili is patiently awaiting her next fight following her victory over Amanda Lemos at UFC 292. In August, she said she wanted a fight against Tatianna Suarez or Yan Xiaonan.
In the meantime, she’s having fun. In fact, she met the famous basketball player Shaquille O’Neal in a gym. And the latter asked him to punch him in the stomach to test the champion’s striking. If at first she hesitated, in a second, she went as she should! Then she even tried to lift it.
For information, Shaq O’Neal measures 2m16 and weighs 149 kg while Zhang measures 1m63 and weighs +/- 52 kg! The difference is just enormous. Shaq loves MMA and has attended quite a few UFC events in the USA. He had even talked about a potential MMA fight against Hong Man Choi, but nothing materialized.

Remember, Zhang did a bit of the same thing with Francis Ngannou in November 2022, when she picked him up and carried him on her shoulder.
