Who won the first fight between Zhang Weili and Joanna Jedrzejczyk?
Zhang Weili and Joanna Jedrzejczyk previously went toe-to-toe against each other in the co-main event of UFC 248 back in March 2020. The strawweights put on an absolute classic, with 'Magnum' ekeing a split decision win past Jedrzejczyk over the course of five rounds.
Following a hard-fought win against Jedrzejczyk, Zhang Weili was forced to part ways with her UFC strawweight title in her very next fight as she was knocked out by Rose Namajunas in the first round of their clash at UFC 261.
The Fight Ready product mounted a crusade to reclaim her title; however, she was bested by 'Thug' yet again, this time by way of split decision at UFC 268.
Joanna Jedrzejczyk, on the other hand, has since remained on the sidelines, with her last outing inside the octagon coming against Weili at UFC 248 itself.
