10 UFC Fights You Cannot Miss In August
6. Jessica Andrade Vs. Weili Zhang - UFC On ESPN 15
Newly crowned UFC strawweight champion, Jessica Andrade, has looked sensational since she dropped to 115lb back in 2016. Although she lost to former champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk, the Brazilian has been on an incredible run ever since, eventually defeating Rose Namajunas for the strap at UFC 237.
Her first title defense will be against the very impressive Weili Zhang. Fans were a bit unsure of Zhang when she made her UFC debut. Was her impressive record padded or was she the real deal? It turns out that she's the latter, as she's beaten top fighters in Jessica Aguilar and Tecia Torres to get this title shot.
In all of her fights at strawweight, Andrade has had the strength advantage over her opponents. However, Zhang might be able to match her in that area. That's when the battle really comes down to who is the most skilful out of these talented ladies. Both are well-rounded and can cause damage in all areas of the game, so all signs point to this being an excellent, back-and-forth battle.
