Last August, strawweight contender Weili Zhang defeated Jessica Andrade via first-round TKO to become China’s first UFC champion. On March 7th at UFC 248, she will defend her title for the first time against former 115-pound champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk.
Zhang will move her training camp to the United States for this upcoming fight. Specifically, she will go under the tutelage of renowned trainer Duke Roufus in Milwaukee.
Roufus made the announcement via Instagram on Tuesday, where he also thanked presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard for helping Weili obtain a U.S. visa.
