A trailblazer for Chinese mixed martial arts, Zhang Weili rose to prominence as a two-time UFC strawweight titleholder. She initially developed her combat foundation through Sanda and Shuai Jiao before focusing on global competition. Her journey involved refining a versatile skill set at elite training centers like Black Tiger Fight Club, Fight Ready, and Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA. Holding a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, she solidified her status by defeating notable opponents such as Carla Esparza, Amanda Lemos, Yan Xiaonan, and Tatiana Suarez. Throughout her tenure, the switch-stance fighter has navigated both the strawweight and flyweight classes.
Entering this event, Zhang maintains a professional record of 26-4-0. Her immediate form includes a unanimous decision loss to Valentina Shevchenko in November 2025. Prior to that setback, she enjoyed a four-fight winning streak.
