Though nothing is official, Weili Zhang may have her first strawweight title defense lined up.
The Chinese fighter posted a video on her Instagram account endorsing a protein powder company, but the most interesting part of the message came in the caption, where she writes: “Also, I still await the battle contract.”
Accompanying the message are emojis of a fist, a pen and a Polish flag. The final emoji would seem to imply that Zhang will defend the 115-pound belt against Poland native Joanna Jedrzejczyk, who is coming off a decision win over Michelle Waterson in the UFC Fight Night 161 headliner on Oct.
