It was a battle of power, as China’s Zhang Weili took on Polish rival Joanna Jedrzejczyk in what is being called one of the greatest fights in women’s MMA history.
中国选手张伟丽迎战波兰劲敌乔安娜·耶德尔泽西克的比赛是一场力量之战，被誉为女子综合格斗历史上最精彩的比赛之一。

In UFC 248 on March in Las Vegas, US, the 30-year-old Zhang came out victorious in a 25-minute brawl that could only be separated by the judges’ split-decision.
在今年3月于拉斯维加斯举行的终极格斗冠军赛248站中，经过裁判的分歧判定，30岁的张伟丽从这场25分钟的鏖战中胜出。

The bout was Zhang’s first defence of her UFC strawweight title after she became China’s first-ever UFC champion last September. That fight lasted just 42 seconds, but Jedrzejczyk presented a host of new challenges for Zhang.
这场较量是张伟丽首度卫冕终极格斗冠军赛草量级金腰带，去年九月，她成为了中国首位终极格斗冠军赛冠军。当时那场比赛仅历时42秒，但乔安娜却给张伟丽带来了新挑战。

From round one, both fighters went back and forth with barely a lull in the action. Zhang’s considerable punching power gave her the early advantage as the pair traded in the first and second rounds.
第一轮比赛，两名选手来回出拳，动作几乎没有停下。在前两轮交锋中，张伟丽凭借拳拳重击获得领先优势。

However, as a former five-time defending champion, Jedrzejczyk used her greater experience and switched her style, catching Zhang with huge kicks to the face and body to win round three.
然而，作为一位曾经5次卫冕冠军的老将，乔安娜利用自己更为丰富的经验转变了打法，她几记扫腿踢中了张伟丽的面部和身体，从而压制住了张伟丽，赢下第三轮比赛。

Going into the championship rounds, despite looking the more tired, Zhang again caught her opponent with well-timed counter punches but also sustained heavy blows to the head, giving her a bloody nose. It was hard to choose between the two women. Two of the three judges scored in favor of Zhang by just a single point, earning Zhang her first title defence.
在决胜轮中，尽管张伟丽看上去体力有所下降，但她再次瞅准时机有力地回击了对手；然而，她头部也遭到多次重击，导致鼻子出血。两位女选手之间难分伯仲。最后，三位裁判中有两位判定张伟丽以1分的微弱优势胜出，首度卫冕成功。

UFC commentator, Joe Rogan, said after the bout that it was “the greatest fight” he has ever seen in women’s MMA and congratulated Zhang’s “epic performance”.
终极格斗冠军赛评论员乔·罗根表示，这场较量是他看过的“最精彩的女子综合格斗比赛”，并对张伟丽“史诗级的表现”表示祝贺。

But for Zhang, “It was a tough journey for me to be here at a tough time for my country ... I hope everybody can stand together to fight the virus with an united effort,” she said.
但对张伟丽来说，“在祖国的艰难时刻出战，这对我而言也是一段艰难的旅程……我希望大家都能团结一心，共同出力抗击病毒，”她说道。
