Title shot? What is next for Chinese fighter Zhang Weili?
Female Strawweight fighter Zhang Weili defeated Joanna Jedrzejczyk in their fight at UFC 275. The fight was amazing and former champ Zhang landed a spinning back fist in the second round to win the match. After her loss at UFC 275, Joanna announced her retirement from MMA and gave an emotional goodbye speech.
After the win, Zhang expressed her happiness and said she was back and revealed she was happy with her performance. Zhang is the former UFC Strawweight champion and has a professional record of 22 wins and 3 losses. Zhang is the face of MMA in Asia and her win will encourage Asian fighters to work hard and make their country proud.
After her win against Joanna, Zhang earned a title shot against Strawweight champion Carla Esparza. Carla became the Strawweight champion recently after defeating Rose Namajunas in a very sluggish fight. Zhang lost her Strawweight title against Rose and has been working hard since then to get back her title.
UFC president Dana White promised a title shot to the winner of Joanna vs Zhang, and it seems Zhang will fight Carla Esparza for the Strawweight title next.
