Former UFC strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk says she turned down several fights with Weili Zhang before the Chinese breakout star won the UFC strawweight title.
Zhang went on to get a title shot against Jessica Andrade after winning her first three UFC fights. She stopped the Brazilian in just 42-seconds last month to become the new title holder at 115 lbs.
Speaking recently on the Eurobash podcast, Jedrzejczyk said she predicted an early stoppage between Andrade and Zhang, and favoured the newly crowned champ in the fight.
“The day before this fight happened between [Jessica] Andrade and [Weili] Zhang, I said that this fight was going to end in the first round and I put my money on Zhang.
