Alexa Grasso agrees to fight Zhang Weili at UFC 300 next year: ‘I’d love to defend my title against you’

Receiving a call out from undisputed strawweight best, Zhang Weili to feature against her at UFC 300 in a flyweight title siege, undisputed divisional champion, Alexa Grasso has welcomed the possibility to fight the Chinese star in April of next year.

Weili, a two-time and current strawweight champion, has been sidelined since UFC 292 back in August, successfully defending her title in a one-sided unanimous decision win over Brazilian challenger, Amanda Lemos.

As for Grasso, the Mexican fan-favorite is currently recovering from recent hand surgery suffered in her flyweight title rematch against Valentina Shevchenko at Noche UFC back in September, with the duo fighting to a split decision draw.
