Hailing from Handan, China, orthodox competitor Zhang Weili is a two-time UFC strawweight champion and the first Chinese fighter to hold a UFC title. Training with Black Tiger Fight Club, Fight Ready, and Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA, she is known for a versatile style combining striking and grappling, supported by a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt.
Ahead of UFC 329 on October 21, 2023, Zhang holds a pre-event record of 3-2-0. Her recent run began with consecutive 2021 losses to Rose Namajunas by head kick knockout and split decision. She rebounded with three straight victories, defeating Joanna Jędrzejczyk via spinning backfist knockout, submitting Carla Esparza with a rear-naked choke, and securing a unanimous decision over Amanda Lemos in August 2023.
