ZHANG WEILI

Zhang Weili emerged as a trailblazing athlete from China, representing the Black Tiger Fight Club throughout her professional journey. Operating from a switch stance, the veteran grappler and Sanda striker achieved historic status as a two-time champion within the strawweight division. Her extensive resume includes significant victories over Carla Esparza and Amanda Lemos, cementing her reputation as one of the sport's most successful competitors. Following a distinguished period at strawweight, she transitioned to the flyweight class in 2025 to test her skills against new opposition.

Entering the matchup with a career record of 26-4-0, Zhang seeks to regain momentum. Her most recent appearance resulted in a unanimous decision loss to Valentina Shevchenko in November 2025. Prior to that setback, she secured three consecutive decision wins against Tatiana Suarez, Yan Xiaonan, and Amanda Lemos. Her prior victory came via a rear-naked choke submission over Carla Esparza in late 2022.
