7 Fights To Make After UFC 248

2. Zhang Weili Vs. Tatiana Suarez

After her epic brawl with Joanna Jedrzejczyk, many are wondering what's next for UFC women's strawweight champion, Zhang Weili. Although plenty of fans are more than ready for a rematch between the two, the 115lb division is packed full of contenders.

We've already seen Zhang against powerful and technical strikers, so it's time to see how she does against a talented wrestler and there is no-one better than Tatiana Suarez. The undefeated 115lber has utterly dominated every single woman willing to step inside the cage with her, taking them down and bludgeoning them with some of the most vicious ground and pound you'll ever see.

Although Zhang has proven that she's one of the most well-rounded fighters currently competing, Suarez would be an entirely new challenge that she needs to overcome. The only real problem is that Suarez has recurring neck injuries that take her out of action for quite awhile. However, if she can get healthy and put on the type of showing that we've seen from her leading up to this, she could be a major problem for Zhang's legacy.
