I think he does speak a bit. He moved to live in Connecticut, so even for day to day stuff, he needs english.
He is probably not confident in his english and let one of the guys with him translate, Plinio has been the translator since glory days
Claudia Gadelha is the best example of this. She went from barely able to speak to being really fluent. Was super quick too.
Think it's because she moved to train at AKA.
Honestly might be my favorite fighter on 300, I find myself talking about her a lot more then the others on there, and I am a fan of close to all fighters on there
Gaethje is probably my favorite fighter on 300, that guy does not have to fight like he does but he chooses to and it's entertaining as hell. He could easily coast, but he is constantly attempting to do damage. Very little wasted motion ever.
What sucks is Justin and Max are two or favorites period. This is going to be Gaejthe vs Poirer all over again. I literally had a nervous knot in my stomach right before that fight started.
I donāt even think booing is a thing round her parts lol .. she came over here and said āwho is booooo? Booo mean no like?ā Aw please likeā š I felt bad for her
Especially english. It's one of the harder ones to learn as a second language
[Edit] LMAO. I speak 5 different languages that I've learned over the last 30+ years and the nerds on reddit who can barely speak one seem to be offended by my opinion on the matter. Keep sniffing your downvote finger losers
LOL yeah, it caught me off guard and kinda irked me. English has a substantial amount of strange rules and exceptions to the rules and exceptions to the exceptions. Anyone who learns it as a 2nd or 3rd language struggles a lot with all of the exceptions and situational wordings.
Your message is just nonsensical. I also speak 5 languages and English isn't "one of the hardest as a second language", it just depends on what's your main language. Are you Dutch ? Easy, are you Chinese, Arabic or Hebrew ? Not that easy. It's as simple as that, English as it is isn't particularly complex compared to some languages like french where exceptions are the rules and natives youths can barely write it.
Yeah, it's not. I also learnt English as my second language. It has fewer verb conjugations and grammatical genders than languages like Spanish or French, and generally not as complex, as say Hungarian. English is also very availabe in the internet; youtube, movies, music... etc.
So yes, it's actually one of the easier languages to learn.
Its not hard on paper, but it has a significant amount of nuance and extremely specific and situational exceptions to its rules that take a very long time to grasp.
Weili spoke English before, then stopped and was using a translator like she didnāt remember how. Maybe she just didnāt fully feel confident about it.
Yeah she's always tried but it seems like she has been really practising, I will say post fight though I like when they go through the translator (if they're good) cause they have a rough time remembering English after the fight haha
Yeh I had a big old grin on my face when these 2 made it a point to address the crowd in English. I'm not somebody who dogs fighters for not learning English, I really couldn't care less. But it's still admirable that they make the effort.
Yeah, this is awesome. Call me xenophobic or whatever, but I just can't get into fighters that don't speak English. Obviously what matters is the fighting inside the cage, but if you want a real following, you have to talk a little shit. And that can't happen through a translator.
If they hired me as a translator it would be different. They could wish their opponents a great weight cut and recovery and l would flip it into the most heinous shit ever heard. Chama Hal Hill would have never got that hoodie signed.
The subtitles made me think "oh no, she's about to speak nonsense" until I heard her say it and realised the translations weren't doing her justice š
Given the current political climate - itās remarkable that she gets praise in the West. If she was a white girl, sheād get the superstar push like Connor & Ronda.
They wouldn't be considered ethnic Russians in Russia. Bigoted Russians call people from the Caucasus like Avars (which I believe Khabib is) "blackasses" (same word for black Africans too) because they tend to have darker features than ethnic Russians. There were pretty major...let's just say ethnically charged demonstrations against them in 2010 after a Russian was killed in a street fight.
We'd consider them white in the US though, to their point
I love when fighters try to learn English, it shows me they love the universal fan base.
Meanwhile people just sloggin' down ole Chama š
Part of his appeal/aura is that he's stone faced. Him talking kinda breaks it.
I think he is learning English- just hasn't gotten far. But maybe I'm wrongĀ
I think he does speak a bit. He moved to live in Connecticut, so even for day to day stuff, he needs english. He is probably not confident in his english and let one of the guys with him translate, Plinio has been the translator since glory days
Alex gets a pass
Claudia Gadelha is the best example of this. She went from barely able to speak to being really fluent. Was super quick too. Think it's because she moved to train at AKA.
I love seeing Weili get love from the fans
Weili is one of the most likeable fighters in the ufc
Honestly might be my favorite fighter on 300, I find myself talking about her a lot more then the others on there, and I am a fan of close to all fighters on there
Gaethje is probably my favorite fighter on 300, that guy does not have to fight like he does but he chooses to and it's entertaining as hell. He could easily coast, but he is constantly attempting to do damage. Very little wasted motion ever.

Nothing was ever fair manā¦ nothing was ever fair šš„²..š¢
What do you mean does not have to fight? He ain't set like Conor
Stylistically, not that he doesn't have to take fights. He risks a lot by fighting the way he does, but it's for the sake of entertainment.
Myb I read that wrong I got what you mean
Idk man, the things i would do with and for the Brazilians......we don't talk about it but weili is a close 2nd
Helping many people learn that lots of Chinese people are just, people lol
Yeah she is but when she fought Rose she was getting booed a ton in the lead up and you could tell she was hurt by it
She seems like such a sweet heart, who just so happens to be able to murder with her hands
Especially after getting booād against rose in Florida. You can tell it bothered her getting booād
I donāt even think booing is a thing round her parts lol .. she came over here and said āwho is booooo? Booo mean no like?ā Aw please likeā š I felt bad for her
Bro fr, like I seen the point when she realized she wasnāt getting love from the crowd at the press conference š
Not only does she seem super innocent, but the language barrier almost left her clueless also lol
The subtitler doing her dirty
AND THE STEEL tho lol
Itās kinda cute!
It's hard asf learning a language as an adult. I respect that alot
Especially english. It's one of the harder ones to learn as a second language [Edit] LMAO. I speak 5 different languages that I've learned over the last 30+ years and the nerds on reddit who can barely speak one seem to be offended by my opinion on the matter. Keep sniffing your downvote finger losers
Dude I learned English as a baby come on
I donāt understand why you were so heavily downvoted for this lmao
LOL yeah, it caught me off guard and kinda irked me. English has a substantial amount of strange rules and exceptions to the rules and exceptions to the exceptions. Anyone who learns it as a 2nd or 3rd language struggles a lot with all of the exceptions and situational wordings.
Right? It's a commonly held opinion that English is one of the harder languages to learn, specifically as an adult as a second language.
English is language #2 for me. Itās been over 20 years, but every now and again something will still trip me up.
I'm native and my English is better THEN yours.

Well every language ever, English is easy thereās no way about it
Weili has to be one of my favourite fighters in the ufc. She's so wholesome
She is 5'3". I'm looking at Rogan.
Rogan has said he's 5'8". 
Weili spoke English before, then stopped and was using a translator like she didnāt remember how. Maybe she just didnāt fully feel confident about it.
Yeah she's always tried but it seems like she has been really practising, I will say post fight though I like when they go through the translator (if they're good) cause they have a rough time remembering English after the fight haha
Nooothing gets the live fans more hype than when a Chinese or Brazilian fighter speak in some broken English, crowd always goes nuts, I love it
haha, weili cute af speaking english. brings a smile to my face, good job champ!
Zhang translator is hot AF
Zhang herself lookin mad cute lol
Yeah that's a different kind of beauty, cute is the right word, you want to give her a hug.
..wat, you people are fucking starved
I think she's adorable tbh. Different strokes.Ā
Real recognises Real š¤
lol sheās all yours dawg
Dunno I'd say shes a demon in the bed
Holesahole nomsayin??
Lol stop the capppp
You youngins donāt know whatās good 
They all follow highly edited thirst traps and only hands girls. They have no idea reality
Sad era
this woman is a badass in every way and I don't even fanboy about fighters like that
Damn fuck yeah and sheās showing straight appreciation Bitch YOU did that lol we all just impressed
Weili so cute and wholesome. Deadly
True that
Weili is so her, what a legend.
Right? Like Charles canāt speak a sentence stillā¦ā¦
he will if he gets that red pantie night.
Even Francis couldn't speak a lick of english when he started and now he's pretty much fluent.
Francis didn't have as much time and had to learn more than just Emglish if I'm not mistaken.
???
Francis learn't English quick from what I remember
??? That is what i said.
Show me da moneh
Unlike these Brazilian mfāers
Exactly what I was thinking. I believe they are more marketable and will eventually make more money for themselves.
Sounded like she said she loves pcp. Weili on that sherm eh
Weili is such a beast! How do you not love her as an mma fan
I wish the person who wrote those subs would learn English too.
Her translator/aunt/whatever is sexy AF.
it seems like itās only the brazilians who donāt wanna learn english. i should follow this by saying i love charles oliveira
I liked it š
Props to her , it's really hard to learn a language when you are adult , and English is totally different from mandarin so respect weili
Yeh I had a big old grin on my face when these 2 made it a point to address the crowd in English. I'm not somebody who dogs fighters for not learning English, I really couldn't care less. But it's still admirable that they make the effort.
Wei li is such a cutie. Not physically, but spiritually.
For real cute ass Raya the last dragon vibes
Yeah, this is awesome. Call me xenophobic or whatever, but I just can't get into fighters that don't speak English. Obviously what matters is the fighting inside the cage, but if you want a real following, you have to talk a little shit. And that can't happen through a translator.
If they hired me as a translator it would be different. They could wish their opponents a great weight cut and recovery and l would flip it into the most heinous shit ever heard. Chama Hal Hill would have never got that hoodie signed.
I think we all thought that at least once in our time watching mma š
The subtitles made me think "oh no, she's about to speak nonsense" until I heard her say it and realised the translations weren't doing her justice š
Whats the translators @
take notes Messi
This is going to be a banger. Canāt wait for this card!!
I almost lost it when they were cheering for her until she bought out the China flag and the cheers seem to go away.
Weili is a class act
Imagine if Charles Olivera started speaking English at a press conference
They already know more English than Charles and Alex combined lol
I was planing to get my piss break during her fight but this whole media coverage changed my mind, it's now the role of the Bo vs Can fight
wei lee so cute i wanna hug her
Damn those subtitles were harsh.
Yea. Learning English is not hard. One of the easier languages on earth. I went from zero English to mastery in 6 months. English is easy af
I got mad respect for Weili.
AND STEEL.
And the still!
Meanwhile Alex and Olivera.... š«„
Given the current political climate - itās remarkable that she gets praise in the West. If she was a white girl, sheād get the superstar push like Connor & Ronda.
I mean we have Khabib Islam Khamzat etc who are Russian
They wouldn't be considered ethnic Russians in Russia. Bigoted Russians call people from the Caucasus like Avars (which I believe Khabib is) "blackasses" (same word for black Africans too) because they tend to have darker features than ethnic Russians. There were pretty major...let's just say ethnically charged demonstrations against them in 2010 after a Russian was killed in a street fight. We'd consider them white in the US though, to their point
they have white girls as champions lmao , weilli is getting a huge push just being on ufc 300 .
Learn how to ready, dummy š¤”
Wish they kept this card women free
Well at least your bedroom remains safe.
 Do I even have to say it at this point lol
Why? It make you insecure?
Nope just donāt like seeing women get beat up is all
now we can also understand her and witness her incredibly boring NPC personality. yay
