A new No. 1 contender in the strawweight division is going to be determined at UFC 275 on Saturday.
UFC president Dana White confirmed to John Morgan of the Underground that the winner of Zhang Weili vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk 2 would be next in line for newly crowned champion Carla Esparza.
“This would definitely be whoever wins this will definitely fight Esparza for the title,” said White.
“I’m sure she’ll be watching this Saturday closely and be ready to roll with whoever wins.”
Esparza won the strawweight championship for a second time against Rose Namajunas at UFC 274 in May.
