BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Weili Zhang vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk 2:
Grant Dawson, UFC lightweight: I have to go with Joanna, the first fight was super close, and Weili Zhang has that mystique factor, the can’t be beaten factor. Now that she has been beaten twice there are holes in the game and Jedrzjeczyk can get it done.
Gabe Green, UFC welterweight: I’m going with Joanna by decision, it should be another good fight though.
Damon Jackson, UFC featherweight: I think Jedrzejczyk but Zhang is tough as hell. That’s such a close fight, I don’t really know.
Joe Solecki, UFC lightweight: I think Joanna gets it done.
Tyson Nam, UFC flyweight: That is a hard one, but I’ll say Joanna Jedrzjecyzk, I think the time off will benefit her.
Christos Giagos, UFC lightweight: I’ll go Jedrzjeczyk by decision.
Brandon Royval, UFC flyweight: What a flip of the coin that fight is but I’ll go with Joanna by decision.
Chris Curtis, UFC middleweight: I’m going to say Joanna Jedrzejcyzk, I’ve never been super impressed with Weili. I’ll say, Joanna.
Ode Osbourne, UFC flyweight: That’s a tough one, I’ll say Weili Zhang again just because Joanna hasn’t fought since then.
Jeff Molina, UFC flyweight: That first fight was super close and closer than I thought. I rewatched it the other day and I’ll lean Joanna but it’s a toss-up.
