Francis Ngannou and Zhang Weili

It is safe to say Zhang Weili is not one to mess with. If the former strawweight champion was not scary enough already, the video of her picking heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou will leave you in shock just like the heavyweight fighter himself.

Francis Ngannou could not believe what just happened when strawweight fighter Zhang Weili picked him up with ease. The heavyweight champion is currently on a hiatus due to injury and weighs nearly 293 pounds. The Chinese strawweight is 9 days out before her title fight against Carla Esparza for the 115-pound belt.

To even think that a person of Weili’s stature could lift someone as monstrous as Ngannou is ridiculous. Ngannou is just as shocked as anyone else as he gets lifted up with ease by the Chinese strawweight. Fans reckon Carla Esparza should be worried because this is not normal for a strawweight to pull off.

“The Predator” himself posted this video on his social media and explained his shock after being picked up by Weili. “I can’t believe that @zhangweilimma just picked me up like I wasn’t 293lbs,” wrote Ngannou in his recent tweet. “I didn’t want her to do it I was scared of her hurting her back and was trying to explain this to her….then found myself suddenly up in the air. Her strength ratio is through the roof,” added Ngannou.

Zhang Weili will fight Carla Esparza for the strawweight title at UFC 281 in the co-main event. The two will be co-headling the PPV card which will take place on November 13th at the Madison Square Garden.
