“I definitely think it could be a finish as well. I think it could be a submission finish or a takedown, and that’s how good – that’s how well-rounded Weili’s getting… I see her winning everywhere. Lemos might have good jiu-jitsu, [but] I don’t think it’s going to be enough.” Said the #1 UFC fighter. The resounding vote of confidence might be a driving force for Weili to be triumphant.
