UFC champ Zhang Weili returns this Saturday to defend her strawweight title against Tatiana Suarez at UFC 312. Zhang, who last fought in April, attributes her inactivity to UFC scheduling and missed opportunities, including a potential move to flyweight.
Facing undefeated Suarez, Zhang acknowledges the challenger’s elite wrestling presents a unique challenge. While focused on the task at hand, she admits a win could mark her final fight at 115 pounds—if she had control over her next move. Will Zhang cement her legacy and set up a champ-champ showdown at flyweight?
