Topic: UFC FIGHTNIGHT - Jessica Andrade vs Zhang Weili

This card has a couple of interesting fights.

It seems many from what I have read and seen around the scene are counting Zhang out in this matchup. Although Jessica is the champ I still think she relies on pure strength and the move forward with a shit ton of pressure type gameplay, but that can be exploited as we saw with Rose until Rose didn't do what she was meant to in that slam. Her power is obviously the scariest in the division but she can be out pointed if distance is managed and her opponent doesn't fall in to the brawl mentality(it is a shame Zhang doesn't have a decent jab). She has definitely improved all aspects of her game including the ground but she has been subbed in the past. She has been over in China for a while though already and training at the PI, so acclamation should be an issue in any area.

Zhang is an interesting cat to me, she predominantly uses kicks to acquire distance but I am not sure that will work so well for her against the Female John Lineker. Weili has improved with her striking since she joined the federation but she has a tenancy to brawl at times and this will not favor well for her against the midget from hell. Her elbows in the clinch are lethal and her GnP is ruthless. The only way I can see her winning is with a sub or a close decision, but tbh I dont think this fight goes the distance. She looks in amazing shape and her prep for this fight has been outstanding but will it be enough to become China's FIRST Womens UFC champ?

Whats your predictions for this fight and any others?

I will go for the upset here and hope she gets a finish, I will admit I am a bit bias because I would like to see China get a champ just for some balance. So stats wise Zhang loses, but Lets see what happens.

BTW Kai wins his fight by dec:)..Kiwi bias but he should win lol :)
