The strawweight bout at UFC 275 is as close as it could get. The first bout saw both fighters throw down for 25-minute, taking no breaks. Thus, the bout was an all-time classic regardless of weight, gender, or even the sport. It was one of the greatest combat sports bouts of all time.

Is Conor McGregor right about Zhang Weili vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk first bout?

At UFC 248, China’s biggest combat star, ‘Magnum’ defended her strawweight championship against the Polish athlete. Jedrzejczyk, on the other hand, was looking to regain the title she defended the most time in the division’s history.

Both fighters fought like everything was up at stake for the winner. They went blow-for-blow for five rounds.

All the rounds were extremely competitive, and none of the fighters got any significant edge at any point. However, the Black Tiger Fight Club fighter’s shots appeared to do more damage to the Polish fighter’s face.

Weili had success in the pocket. Nonetheless, Jedrzejczyk showed her striking prowess whenever the two had some distance between them.

A big hematoma on the forehead of ‘The Boogeywoman’ perhaps was the difference in the judges scoring the bout for Zhang Weili. She defended the belt via a split decision.
