Fans voices come first

With 18 consecutive wins and back-to-back UFC victories over Danielle Taylor and Jessica Aguilar, it’s very possible that if Weili Zhang defeats No. 7-ranked Tecia Torres this Saturday, the No. 15-ranked “Magnum” could find herself in title contention in the 115-pound weight class.

“The Chinese often say, ‘You must eat every mouthful. The way is one step at a time,’” Zhang said. “If I beat Tecia, I will be ready for what’s next when it comes.”

That cool permeates throughout Zhang’s being. Whether in the Octagon or outside it, there is a sense that the 29-year-old doesn’t get rattled by much, if anything.
