Weili Zhang-Joanna Jedrzejczyk rematch targeted for UFC 275

Their first meeting was viewed as arguably the greatest female fight of all-time. Now, Weili Zhang and Joanna Jedrzejczyk will get a second act in June.

UFC chief business officer Hunter Campbell informed ESPN that Zhang and Jedrzejczyk have verbally agreed to square off at UFC 275 on June 11 in Singapore. Bout agreements will be sent out soon.

Zhang defeated Jedrzejczyk via split decision in a five-round strawweight title bout in their first meeting at UFC 248 on March 7, 2020. It was an easy selection for Sherdog.com's  "Fight of the Year.”

Zhang has fought twice since that classic matchup. She relinquished the 115-pound belt to Rose Namajunas in a first-round knockout loss at UFC 261. The Fight Ready standout received an immediate rematch and was much more competitive, ultimately losing a split decision to Namajunas at UFC 268 this pas November. Zhang owns other notable victories against the likes Jessica Andrade, Tecia Torres and Jessica Aguilar.

Jedrzejczyk has not competed since UFC 248. The Polish star still has promotional records for most title defenses (five) and victories (10) in strawweight history. Jedrzejczyk’s resume includes victories over the likes of Michelle Waterson, Torres, Andrade, Karolina Kowalkiewicz, Claudia Gadelha and Carla Esparza.

UFC 275 takes place at Kallang Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore and is headlined by a light heavyweight title tilt between Glover Teixeira and Jiri Prochazka. In the co-main event, Valentina Shevchenko will defend her flyweight crown against Taila Santos.
