Weili Zhang lost her professional MMA debut when she dropped a unanimous decision to Meng Bo in 2013. Today, Bo is 17-5 and fighting under the One Championship banner. Zhang is 21-1 and the defending UFC strawweight champion. On Saturday, Zhang puts her title on the line against former UFC 115-pound queen, Rose Namajunas.
Zhang captured the belt in 2019 with a blistering fast TKO victory over Jessica Andrade. In her first defense of the title, the 31-year-old scored a split-decision win over ex-champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk.
Namajunas won the strawweight crown in 2017 with a first-round TKO win over Jedrzejczyk.
