We believe the odds for Zhang vs Jedrzecjzyk are fair in terms of this been an evenly matched bout. Jedrzecjzyk certainly lost a step after Rose Namajunas proved she had her number with two losses, but 2019 Joanna looks revitalized back at her most comfortable weight class.

Weili’s title win almost flew under the rader in 2019, due to it taking place in China. Also, her opponent Jessica Andrade has just won the title from Rose Namajunas at UFC . Now she will look to defend her belt against Joanna, who is coming off a dominant performance over Michelle Waterson in her last outing.

This will be a true test for Zhang, but at those odds we fancy her chances of stopping Jedrzecjzyk within the distance and another massive 2020 for Weili Zhang.
