Zhang Weili wins by split decision! It was a real close fight with Zhang being out struck in volume from Joanna Jedrzejczyk (JJ) but landing more powerful combinations. When they would exchange strikes, Zhang would land nasty hooks, ignoring JJ's jab cross flurry and even eating them in hopes of getting a KO or TKO. I felt like Zhang won rounds 1, 2, and 5. The commentators were mentioning in the middle rounds that Zhang was getting tired and JJ was looking for a head kick to Zhang's left side, but it never came and in the final round she picked up the pace to dominate. JJ outstruck Zhang some, but I think Zhang won based on cage control, power shots, and damage inflicted. The next big challenge for Zhang will be former champion "Thug" Rose Namajunas (and possibly rising star Tatiana Suarez after that) who was the only other one in the division to beat JJ.
