Zhang Weili

When Joanna Jedrzejczyk returns for her rematch against Zhang Weili at UFC 275, it will only be the fourth time in her UFC career she’s scheduled to go three rounds. Between title fights and main events, the ex-strawweight champion has spent the majority of her time preparing to go 25 minutes, and she’s more than willing to do it again — but only under the right conditions.

Former rivals Rose Namajunas and Joanna Jędrzejczyk may be spending a lot of time together ahead of Jędrzejczyk’s rematch with Zhang Weili. Jędrzejczyk is set to make her return to the Octagon next month at UFC 275 against Weili. It is her first fight in the UFC since their first matchup at UFC 248.

Rose Namajunas and Joanna Jedrzejczyk have battled it out in two past fights with the UFC strawweight title on the line but now the former opponents may soon call each other training partners. In the wake of her loss to Carla Esparza at UFC 274, Namajunas isn’t interested in sitting...

The top of Ultimate Fighting Championship’s (UFC) Strawweight division has had a fire lit under it after the most recent title fight failed to meet expectations. At UFC 274 this past weekend (Sat., May 7, 2022), Rose Namajunas sought redemption against the first woman to defeat her inside the Octagon, Carla Esparza. Unfortunately for everyone except for Esparza, the fight was less than satisfying.

One of the greatest fights of all time will get a part two as Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Zhang Weili meet once again at UFC 275 on June 11, 2022, in Singapore. A lot has changed in the Strawweight landscape since their initial Mar. 2020 encounter at UFC 248 in what was Jedrzejczyk’s last fight. Defeating the former longtime queenpin via split decision, Zhang went on to drop the belt to Rose Namajunas in her following bout a year later (watch highlights). Receiving an immediate rematch against “Thug” — just like Jedrzejczyk did when she lost to that very same opponent in 2017 (watch highlights) — Zhang then tasted defeat via a closely-contested split decision in Nov. 2021 (watch highlights).

Joanna Jedrzejczyk won’t be fighting anywhere but the UFC for the foreseeable future. The former strawweight champion revealed to MMA Fighting on Thursday that she has inked a new six-fight contract with the UFC as her current deal neared its end. “It’s a multiple-fight deal,” Jedrzejczyk told MMA Fighting....

Joanna Jedrzejczyk has revealed that she would be willing to fight Zhang Weili over five rounds instead of three at UFC 275. Throughout the course of their respective careers in mixed martial arts, both Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Zhang Weili have been involved in some incredible contests. Alas, neither has been able to replicate what they produced together at UFC 248 when they battled it out in a remarkable five-round war in Las Vegas.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk will not hesitate to go five rounds with Zhan Weili inside the octagon once again. UFC president Dana White is still thinking about the idea. Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Zhang Weili will give it another go at UFC 275 this June. Whether it would be a three or five-rounder is yet to be known but Jedrzejczyk is already thrilled about going for another 25 minutes against Zhang.

Dana White seems open to making the UFC 275 rematch between former champions Joanna Jędrzejczyk and Zhang Weili five rounds. Weili and Jędrzejczyk will square off in a rematch more than two years in the making at UFC 275 on June 11. This will be Jędrzejczyk’s first fight in the Octagon since the start of the pandemic and she’ll return against her last opponent.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Zhang Weili is widely regarded as the greatest women’s fight in history, and it’s getting a sequel. UFC chief business officer Hunter Campbell told ESPN that Jedrzejczyk and Weili have verbally agreed to a rematch at UFC 275 on June 11, 2022, in Singapore, and that official contracts will be sent soon.

It’s been two years since one of the best fights in MMA history took place between Joanna Jędrzejczyk and Weili Zhang at UFC 248, and now the former strawweight champions are ready to run it back. As reported by ESPN on Friday, the rematch between Zhang and Jędrzejczyk...
