âCongratulations to the champion. Everything has lined up perfectly, it's destiny,â Weili wrote on Instagram.
âProbably, yes. Considering all the title defense that I already have in flyweight, but it's kind of like for me now... You've got a victory, your belt is with you,
âI mean about the timing. It's very important to have proper recovery and get into the next training camp with full power. It's mostly about time-wise.â
âI'm still going. I'm not stopping. It's just the beginning,â she said with a laugh.
