Zhang is currently riding a 20-fight win streak since her first and lone career defeat back in 2013, and she is a perfect 4-0 in the UFC. As for Jedrzejczyk, the former long-time champ is coming off of a big win over Michelle Waterson in the main event of UFC Tampa that put her back in the driver&#8217;s seat in regards to being the No. 1 contender at 115lbs.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s no wonder that Dana White is so excited for this matchup between two of the most dangerous and lethal strikers in the women&#8217;s strawweight division, and two that know how to talk trash better than anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Are you excited to watch Weili Zhang battle Joanna Jedrzejczyk?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 11\/18\/2019.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC president Dana White has seemingly confirmed that UFC women&#8217;s strawweight champion Weili Zhang will fight Joanna Jedrzejczyk next.
