[Saba Sports News] Over the weekend, two-time UFC Women’s Strawweight champion Weili Zhang surprised everyone with an incredible feat. She met retired basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal at a gym in China, and despite her small stature of 5’4″ and 115 pounds, she managed to lift Shaq briefly while demonstrating a takedown move. The video went viral, showcasing her incredible strength.
In another video, Zhang also playfully exchanged punches with O’Neal. The 7-foot-1 O’Neal, who was once listed at 325 pounds during his career, remains a massive figure, even after significant weight loss in recent years.
Zhang’s impressive feat demonstrated her ability to lift approximately three times her own weight. She is the first petite athlete to literally sweep Shaq off his feet.
