Li Jingliang vs Zak Ottow (Watch on UFC FIGHT PASS)
November 25, 2017
The perfectly timed right hand by now had become a recurring theme in Li’s work. He mastered it the way other artists might master sculpture or painting. Exhibit A: an absolute missile down the middle to fold the perennially tough Zak Ottow. To his credit, Ottow had the wherewithal following the strike to frantically attempt scrambling to his feet, but there was no escaping the barrage of right hands that kept him glued to the mat, and eventually, Herb Dean had seen enough.
Result: Li Jingliang by TKO, Round 1, 2;57
Li Jingliang vs David Zawada (Watch on UFC FIGHT PASS)
November 24, 2018
Of the opponents “The Leech” has finished over his extensive career, David Zawada hung around much longer than most, not succumbing to Li’s attack until the last minute of the final round. Described by the announcers as “a different proposition,” Zawada in fact fought at a very high level and had more than his share of big moments throughout. But a flurry of punches from Li at the end of the second round got the Beijing crowd to their feet, and their energy propelled through a beautiful Round 3 campaign, punctuated by a fight-ending kick to the solar plexus.
Result: Li Jingliang by KO (Body Kick), Round 3, 4:07
