The former UFC women’s strawweight champion, Carla Esparza, continued on her amazing winning run after she beat Yan Xiaonan in their UFC Vegas 27 match-up. Esparza used her wrestling to completely nullify her opponent. The American, who has now won five fights in a row, is primed for a title shot against the new champion Rose Namajunas. She finished Xiaonan [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/yan-xiaonan/] in the second round after getting into the crucifix position and unleashing a vicious ground-and-pound. Her win was so dominant that she landed an incredible 101 strikes in the first round (170 in the fight [https://www.ufc.com/event/ufc-fight-night-may-22-2021#9107]). Thereafter, the 18-6 fighter went and called for the title shot that she rightfully deserves. “I want a chance to fight for that title. I think it’s an intriguing fight that everyone wants to see. C’mon Dana, let’s make it happen,” Esparza [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/carla-esparza/] told UFC commentator Paul Felder in her post-fight interview. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-all-you-need-to-know-about-amanda-nunes-and-her-wife-nina-ansaroff/] Esparza, who was at #4 [https://www.ufc.com/rankings] ahead of the fight, will probably be in the top 2 when the new rankings are made public. Hence, she may be the next challenger to ‘Thug’ who beat Zhang Weili [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/yan-xiaonan/] at UFC 261. CARLA ESPARZA VERSUS ROSE NAMAJUNAS 1: WINNING THE INAUGURAL UFC WOMEN’S STRAWWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Esparza’s path to the UFC was super tracked when she won the inaugural Invicta FC strawweight championship. She went one better in her next fight as she joined the UFC and got the title shot against Rose Namajunas. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rose-namajunas/] The fight was emphatic and provided some good advertising for the new women’s division. Carla Esparza [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201027142854/UFCFNFI4WeighIn026.jpg]ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – JULY 24: (L-R) Opponents Carla Esparza and Marina Rodriguez of Brazil face off during the UFC Fight Night weigh-in inside Flash Forum on UFC Fight Island on July 24, 2020, in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images) However, in the TUF finale, Esparza reigned supreme with her superior wrestling skills and finished the fight via a third-round rear-naked choke. Unfortunately, her success was short-lived, as she lost the title to Joanna Jedrzejczyk [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/joanna-jedrzejczyk/] in her next fight. However, ‘Cookie Monster’, who is on a run now, will seek a shot at redemption. What would you make of Carla Esparza vs Rose Namajunas 2? 

At UFC Vegas 27, Carla 'Cookie Monster' Esparza dominated Yan 'Fury' Xiaonan to
set up a possible title shot against Rose Namajunas.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Joanna Jedrzejczyk 2022: Record, Net Worth, Salary and Endorsement</h2>
Joanna Jedrzejczyk was one of the most dominant UFC champions. She might be the most dangerous athlete now, but it was not always her goal. Born in Poland, Joanna took up fitness classes at 16. She then transitioned to Muay Thai and kickboxing.

In 2012, she made her professional MMA debut and disposed of her first three opponents in two rounds.

With an undefeated record of <a href="https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Joanna-Jedrzejczyk-101411" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">6-0</a>, Joanna made her UFC debut. As of May 2022, she is unranked in the UFC's rankings.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Record</h2>
She dominated Juliana Lima in her first UFC match. Her next match against Claudia Gadelha was rather controversial. Many believed that the Polish star lost the fight. Yet the judges granted Jedrzejczyk the split decision victory.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk then fought the former strawweight champion, Carla Esparza. The 'Boogeywoman' established her dominance early and tore apart the former champion. She made Esparza look like an amateur inside the cage. The referee had no option but to call off the fight in the second round.

Joanna destroyed her next five opponents and almost came close to breaking Ronda Rousey's record for most title defenses by a woman. Unfortunately, she lost her title when she attempted to defend it for the sixth time.

[caption id="attachment_506940" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-506940" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210107203558/GettyImages-1180420472.jpg" alt="Joanna Jedrzejczyk" width="1920" height="1323" /> TAMPA, FLORIDA - OCTOBER 11: Joanna Jedrzejczyk of Poland poses on the scale during the UFC Fight Night weigh-in at the Westin Tampa Waterside on October 11, 2019 in Tampa, Florida. (Photo by Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC/Zuffa LLC)[/caption]

Going into the fight with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rose-namajunas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Rose Namajunas</a>, Joanna talked a lot of trash and possibly lost a couple of fans. Although she was a heavy favorite to win the fight, she was stopped in the very first round. It was her first-ever MMA loss. Joanna tried to reclaim the belt in her next fight, but was unsuccessful.

She returned to the win column after defeating Tecia Torres at UFC Fight Night: Alvarez vs. Poirier 2. After the win; the Pole fought one of the most dangerous fighters in the UFC, Valentina <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/valentina-shevchenko/">Shevchenko,</a> for the vacant women's flyweight championship. However, she lost the bout via a unanimous decision.

[caption id="attachment_506939" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-506939" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210107203532/GettyImages-1211097613.jpg" alt="Joanna Jedrzejczyk" width="1920" height="1563" /> LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - MARCH 07: Joanna Jedrzejczyk at the end of her fight during a split decision loss to Weili Zhang in a strawweight title bout at T-Mobile Arena on March 07, 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Harry How/Getty Images)[/caption]

Jedrzejczyk fought Michelle Waterson in 2019 and won the fight. What came after the Waterson fight was the blockbuster fight against former women's strawweight champion Zhang Weili for her title. The match was one of the most interesting fights in the UFC's history. However, Jedrzejczyk lost the fight via a split decision and left the octagon with a deformed face.

She holds a record of <a href="http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/3d6749c4267da18f" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">10-4</a> in her UFC career.

She is now slated for a rematch against Weili at UFC 275: Teixeira vs. Prochazka.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Fighting Style</h2>
Jedrzejczyk has fundamentally sound striking. Her extensive experience in Muay Thai and Kickboxing sets her apart from the rest. She is relentless in her offense and can move in and out on her opponent easily.

She is also incredibly difficult to take down. And even if someone takes her down, it is impossible to keep her there.

Her brutal trash talk has also become a part of her game. She verbally destroys her opponents ahead of the fight and tries to establish psychological dominance.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Achievements</h2>
Jedrzejczyk has won five <a href="https://muaythai.sport/joanna-jedrzejczyk-from-ifma-champion-to-global-superstar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gold medals</a> in IMFA World Championships. She has the most title fights in UFC women's history, and she is also the first Polish UFC champion. She <a href="https://wombatsports.wordpress.com/2015/01/19/joanna-jedrzejczyk-takes-wmma-press-award-for-strawweight-of-the-year/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">was</a> the 2014 women's strawweight of the Year.

Joanna has won three Fight of the Night Bonuses and One Performance of the Night Bonus. She holds a proud record of <a href="https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Joanna-Jedrzejczyk-101411" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">16-4-0</a> in her MMA career.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Injury</h2>
The 'Boogeywoman' attempted to recapture the strawweight gold in 2020 against Weili Zhang. The bout was an absolute war, and many pundits even considered it as the Fight of the Year. During the match, Joanna suffered one of the nastiest injuries in MMA. The Polish fighter developed a massive <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-248-scary-images-of-joanna-jedrzejczyk-after-the-fight-revealed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">hematoma</a> on her forehead and was unrecognizable by the end of the fight.

Although Joanna did not win the title, she definitely won a lot of fans that night.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Controversy</h2>
Before her fight against Zhang Weili, Jedrzejczyk uploaded a <a href="https://www.scmp.com/sport/martial-arts/mixed-martial-arts/article/3048241/ufc-joanna-jedrzejczyk-apologises-zhang-weili" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">photoshopped picture</a> of herself and the Chinese champion. In the picture, Joanna was wearing a gas mask, referring to the Coronavirus outbreak in China. This move upset many fans, and Zhang even fired back at the former champion. Nevertheless, Jedrzejczyk issued an apology afterward.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Net Worth and Salary 2022</h2>
Joanna has earned over $2,292,000 in her UFC career according to <a href="https://thesportsdaily.com/2020/03/08/joanna-jedrzejczyk-career-earnings-fox11/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Sports Daily</a>. Jedrzejczyk has an estimated net worth of $4 million according to <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/mma-net-worth/joanna-jedrzejczyk-net-worth/#:~:text=Joanna%20J%C4%99drzejczyk%20net%20worth%20and,Olsztyn%2C%20Poland%20in%20August%201987." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Celebrity Net Worth</a>.

Her next match against Claudia Gadelha was rather controversial. Many believed that the Polish star lost the fight. Yet the judges granted Jedrzejczyk the split decision victory. Joanna Jedrzejczyk then fought the former strawweight champion, Carla Esparza. The &#8216;Boogeywoman&#8217; established her dominance early and tore apart the former champion. She made Esparza look like an amateur inside the cage. The referee had no option but to call off the fight in the second round. Joanna destroyed her next five opponents and almost came close to breaking Ronda Rousey&#8217;s record for most title defenses by a woman. Unfortunately, she lost her title when she attempted to defend it for the sixth time.

(Photo by Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC/Zuffa LLC) Going into the fight with Rose Namajunas, Joanna talked a lot of trash and possibly lost a couple of fans. Although she was a heavy favorite to win the fight, she was stopped in the very first round. It was her first-ever MMA loss. Joanna tried to reclaim the belt in her next fight, but was unsuccessful. She returned to the win column after defeating Tecia Torres at UFC Fight Night: Alvarez vs. Poirier 2. After the win; the Pole fought one of the most dangerous fighters in the UFC, Valentina Shevchenko, for the vacant women&#8217;s flyweight championship. However, she lost the bout via a unanimous decision.

(Photo by Harry How/Getty Images) Jedrzejczyk fought Michelle Waterson in 2019 and won the fight. What came after the Waterson fight was the blockbuster fight against former women&#8217;s strawweight champion Zhang Weili for her title. The match was one of the most interesting fights in the UFC&#8217;s history. However, Jedrzejczyk lost the fight via a split decision and left the octagon with a deformed face. She holds a record of 10-4 in her UFC career. She is now slated for a rematch against Weili at UFC 275: Teixeira vs. Prochazka. Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Fighting Style Jedrzejczyk has fundamentally sound striking. Her extensive experience in Muay Thai and Kickboxing sets her apart from the rest. She is relentless in her offense and can move in and out on her opponent easily. She is also incredibly difficult to take down. And even if someone takes her down, it is impossible to keep her there. Her brutal trash talk has also become a part of her game. She verbally destroys her opponents ahead of the fight and tries to establish psychological dominance. Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Achievements Jedrzejczyk has won five gold medals in IMFA World Championships. She has the most title fights in UFC women&#8217;s history, and she is also the first Polish UFC champion. She was the 2014 women&#8217;s strawweight of the Year. Joanna has won three Fight of the Night Bonuses and One Performance of the Night Bonus. She holds a proud record of 16-4-0 in her MMA career. Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Injury The &#8216;Boogeywoman&#8217; attempted to recapture the strawweight gold in 2020 against Weili Zhang. The bout was an absolute war, and many pundits even considered it as the Fight of the Year. During the match, Joanna suffered one of the nastiest injuries in MMA. The Polish fighter developed a massive hematoma on her forehead and was unrecognizable by the end of the fight. Although Joanna did not win the title, she definitely won a lot of fans that night. Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Controversy Before her fight against Zhang Weili, Jedrzejczyk uploaded a photoshopped picture of herself and the Chinese champion. In the picture, Joanna was wearing a gas mask, referring to the Coronavirus outbreak in China. This move upset many fans, and Zhang even fired back at the former champion. Nevertheless, Jedrzejczyk issued an apology afterward. Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Net Worth and Salary 2022 Joanna has earned over $2,292,000 in her UFC career according to The Sports Daily. Jedrzejczyk has an estimated net worth of $4 million according to Celebrity Net Worth. Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Endorsements 2022 In 2015, Joanna struck an endorsement deal with Reebok.

<span style="font-weight: 400">Rose Namajunas is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the UFC. She was born on June 29, 1992. Namajunas started her MMA career in the Invicta Fighting Championships and won her first two fights by submissions. As of 2023, she sits at #8 in the UFC women's pound-for-pound rankings and is a former UFC women's strawweight champion.</span>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Rose Namajunas: UFC Career</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Rose made her UFC debut against Carla Esparza and lost the bout (the fight for the inaugural UFC strawweight title) and championship belt via submission. However, she immediately bounced back and claimed three consecutive victories against Angela Hill, Paige VanZant, and Tecia Torres.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">After defeating Michelle Waterson, Namajunas earned a title shot against then-champion, Joanna Jedrzejczyk. Back then, Joanna was undefeated and, as expected, Rose was the underdog in the fight.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Rose shocked the world when she stopped Joanna Jedrzejczyk in the first round at UFC 217 and was crowned as the UFC's third strawweight champion. Although Namajunas was considered better on the ground, she defeated Jedrzejczyk by outclassing her on the feet. And to prove that it wasn't a fluke, Namajunas beat Jedrzejczyk once again in a rematch.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">With only one title defense, 'Thug' lost her title to Jessica Andrade via a brutal body slam KO in the second round at UFC 237. However, she bounced back and won the rematch against Andrade at UFC 251.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Namajunas' win against Andrade earned her another title shot. She clashed against then-champion Zhang Weili at UFC 261. Rose became a two-time UFC women's strawweight champion by claiming a highlight-reel head kick KO in the first round.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">She ramped up another title defense in a rematch against Zhang Weili on November 06, 2021, at UFC 268. But 'Thug's' last UFC bout ended in another defeat against her noted former rival Carla Esparza. 'Cookie Monster' earned a unanimous decision at UFC 274 to hand Namajunas the fourth loss of her UFC career. She holds a record of 9-4 in the UFC.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">She went to the flyweight division for a battle with Manon Fiorot and ended up on the losing side of the bout at UFC on ESPN+ 84. Now, she has just secured her first victory at flyweight against Amanda Ribas at UFC Vegas 89 via a unanimous decision.</span>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Rose Namajunas: Fighting Style</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Rose is a striker and her footwork is one of the best in the UFC. Besides that, she has perfected her jab. She is also a black belt in Taekwondo and Karate and a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Thus, she is also an elite grappler.</span>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Rose Namajunas: Achievements</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Namajunas holds a stellar record of 13-6-0 in her MMA career. 'Thug Rose' has earned three 'Fight of the Night' and three 'Performance of the Night' bonuses. Namajunas also claimed the 2017 Fighter of the Year award. This was the year where she tasted UFC gold as a 25-year-old.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">She has also achieved wins over a number of experienced veterans. Namajunas has a black belt in Taekwondo and Karate. Apart from that, she is a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.</span>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Rose Namajunas: Net Worth and Salary 2023</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">As of 2023, Namajunas has an estimated UFC career earnings of $1.78M, according to The Sports Daily. Her biggest paycheck ($572,000) came from her sophomore bout against Carla 'Cookie Monster' Esparza in 2022. Reports say that it also included the highest salary of her UFC career, which stands at $500,000.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The former UFC fighter turned kickboxer, Pat Barry, mentioned her first meeting with Namajunas as a fight. But it was 'Thug's' fearless attitude of punching him in the face that got him attracted to her. After Barry transitioned to Glory kickboxing in 2013 the two got engaged in the year 2014.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">But the couple soon got into trouble with Barry's substance abuse which also took a toll on Namajunas' performance. But he has come clean currently, and as per Namajunas, has become a lot more supportive than he used to be.</span>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Rose Namajunas: Endorsements 2023</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The former UFC champ inked an agreement with Reebok in 2019. Reports also suggest that she has endorsement deals with major brands like Puma and Adidas. As per 'The Sportslite', Rose Namajunas' total earnings from these sponsorships are reported to be around $500,000.</span>

<p style="text-align: center"><strong>Zhang Weili's Net Worth 2024, Career, and Family</strong></p>

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Zhang Weili? </strong></h2>
Zhang Weili is one of the most dangerous fighters on the UFC roster. She is a Chinese mixed martial artist and became the first fighter from her country to become a champion in the UFC after she defeated Jessica Andrade at UFC Fight Night in August 2019. The currently two-time UFC Strawweight Champion is also one of the most noted faces in the women's division. The UFC audiences seem to love her 'talk less work more' attitude thoroughly.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Zhang Weiliâ€™s early life</strong></h2>
Weili was born on 13 August 1989 in the Handan, Hebei located in the Southwest region of China. Her father was a miner and her mother raised him as a homemaker. The little troublemaker that Weili was, she was always interested in the fighting game.

<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-230139" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200227212011/Weili-Zhang-China-Flag-558x315.jpg" alt="" width="558" height="315" />

Inspired by Kung Fu movies, Weili began training in martial arts at an early age. After training in Shaolin Kung Fu, she transitioned to Sanda and Shuai Jiao. Finally, she took up BJJ. While several sources sing songs of Weili's athletic prowess, there aren't any detailed references to her school itself.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Zhang Weili's family, partner, and children</h2>
As mentioned above, Weili's father was a miner who is enjoying retirement currently, while her mother is a homemaker. That said, their names are known to the media. She also has an older brother who played a huge part in getting her to where she is today.

Reports state that her brother used to work as a gold trader. But after noticing Weili's MMA talents, he gave up his job to support her with training and other routines. To date, he hasn't given up Weili's side as he currently works in the gyms where 'Magnum' trains.

Looking at the privacy Weili maintains regarding her personal life, it's quite apparent that there are pretty few reports about her current relationship status. While some reports also say that she is in a relationship with the CEO of 'Stride Gym', Ruben Payan Jr, some suggest that she is currently not romantically involved with anyone. Weili also has no kids.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Zhang Weili's net worth in 2024</b></h2>
Looking at the superb prowess of Weili and her ability to put on an absolute show, it's obvious that her UFC contract is rather good. As of 2024, Weili boasts a total net worth of about $2M. That said, a major chunk of that $2 million came from other big investments and businesses she has undertaken. Â According to certain reports,Â  the champion takes home a purse of $250,000 through her 10 fights under the Las Vegas-based promotion.

Weili earned the biggest payday of her entire UFC career for her UFC 248 bout against 'The Boogeywoman' Joanna Jedrzejczyk. Reports say she pocketed an amount of $290,000 after her victory against Jedrzejczyk.

Apart from her earnings from the UFC, 'Magnum' has also made a considerable amount of wealth from her endorsements.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Â Zhang Weiliâ€™s partnerships and endorsements</strong></h2>
Currently, she promotes a number of brands, like Perfect Sports, Heilan Home, and Under Armour.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Zhang Weili's MMA career and highlights</b></h2>
Weili took up martial arts at the young age of 6 years. She started training in Shaolin Kung Fu under the tutelage of a local master. Her passion for Kung Fu films played a massive part in fueling her interest. After continuing in regular school until the age of 12, Weili's parents sent her to a specialized martial arts school. She started training in Sanda and Shuai jiao, a Chinese form of wrestling.

She also won the Sanda tournament of the Hebei province multiple times. Her prowess also earned her a spot in the Jiangsu province Sanda team. However, she picked up an injury during her training sessions for the same. It restricted her from competing in the tournament.

After moving to Beijing in 2010, Weili had to support herself completely. She took up a number of jobs during this time, ending up as a gym instructor. She got hooked on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and also started training in it. But, it was her friendship with the Chinese MMA legend, Wu Haotian, that finally helped her turn into a professional MMA athlete.

Haotian once brought Weili to her training facility, Black Tiger Fight Club. There, his coach noticed the spark that Weili had in martial arts. He suggested 'Magnum' to train in MMA and she was happy to oblige. After training for almost 3 years, the 34-year-old decided to take up MMA as her profession.

Zhang made her professional MMA debut in 2013. Unfortunately, she lost her first-ever match via a unanimous decision. She then finished her next twelve opponents in under three rounds. She saw the third round for the first time in her bout against Aline Sattelmayer at Kunlun Fight MMA 12.

Weili extended her win streak to 16 before signing with the UFC. The Chinese fighter dominated her first three opponents in the promotion. "Magnum" then fought former champion, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jessica-andrade/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Jessica Andrade</a>, in her fourth bout.

<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1082484" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-from-2022-06-12-08-51-50-560x309.png" alt="" width="560" height="309" />

It did not even take Weili a full minute to finish Andrade with debilitating knees and punches. She became the first Chinese UFC champion, and she did it in her home country. Then, she went on to defend her UFC women's strawweight title against <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/joanna-jedrzejczyk/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Joanna JÄ™drzejczykdrzejczyk</a>. With only one title defense, Weili clashed against <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rose-namajunas/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Rose Namajunas</a> at UFC 261. Namajunas ended Weili's win streak with a highlight-reel head kick KO in the first round.

Since then, Weili has fought in three more fights and won two of them. After her second loss to 'Thug Rose' at UFC 268, she finished off her bold rival Joanna JÄ™drzejczyk once again at the UFC 275 with a spinning-back fist KO. Moreover, she reclaimed the UFC Strawweight championship in her last bout against <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/carla-esparza/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Carla Esparza</a>Â at UFC 281. As of now, he still holds the championship and stands as a two-time UFC Strawweight champion.

Weili has admitted that her prowess in the UFC has boosted her to the status of a star in her home country of China. They believe Weili has led the way for Chinese martial artists, setting an example of how nothing is impossible if you have the dedication to achieve it. She is also the face of the UFC's ventures in China, which has also added to her popularity.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Zhang Weili's record and stats</b></h2>
After a thoroughly dominant early professional career, Weili currently boasts a UFC record of 9-2 while her overall MMA record stands at a remarkable 24-3-0. She won the 'Fight of the Night' bonus for her fight with Joanna Jedrzejczyk and a 'Performance of the Night' bonus for her fight with Jessica Andrade.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Zhang Weili's fighting style</b></h2>
Weili showcases superb aggression in her fights. She likes pressuring down her opponents and fires a collection of kicks and hand strikes in the process.

Despite having commendable control on the ground game too, it might be said that Weili likes to fight standing up. Like her favorite MMA fighter,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tony-ferguson/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Tony Ferguson</a>, Weili likes to pressure her opponent. She prefers to strike with her opponent, though she can fight anywhere.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Zhang Weili's titles</h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Weili is currently the undisputed UFC Women's Strawweight Champion, a title she had held once before. During her time at JLF, she had also been crowned the Female Strawweight champion. Prior to that, she had been the Top FC Strawweight Champion.Â </span>
