ZHANG WEILI

Hailing from China, this versatile switch-stance athlete represents a collective of elite camps including Black Tiger Fight Club, Fight Ready, and Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA. Her professional trajectory began with notable runs in Kunlun Fight and Top FC prior to her UFC arrival in 2018. As a two-time strawweight titleholder, she cemented her legacy as the inaugural Asian champion within the organization. Her resume reflects success across both the strawweight and flyweight classes, featuring high-profile victories over established names like Carla Esparza, Amanda Lemos, and Joanna Jedrzejczyk.

Entering this contest with a career mark of 26-4-0, she arrives following a decision defeat against Valentina Shevchenko in November 2025. Before that setback, she strung together four consecutive victories, including decision wins over Tatiana Suarez, Yan Xiaonan, and Amanda Lemos, as well as a submission triumph against Esparza.
