Dana White open to Zhang Weili, Valentina Shevchenko super fight after UFC 312: ‘I’m probably gonna say ‘Yes”

UFC CEO, Dana White admits his hand may be twisted finally on a flyweight super fight between Zhang Weili and Valentina Shevchenko next — particularly following the strawweight queen’s dominant title fight defense in the co-headliner of UFC 312 tonight.

Weili, the current undisputed strawweight champion, successfully racked up her third defense of the 115lbs crown tonight as part of her second title reign — handing challenger, Tatiana Suarez her first-ever loss in a rather one-sided outing for the strawweight belt.
