Both Rose Namajunas and Zhang Weili will be stepping into the octagon for the first time since Namajunas upset Zhang as a +170 underdog to claim the UFC strawweight belt for the second time in her career. While some felt Carla Esparza might be more deserving of this title shot before Zhang, the UFC has decided it made more sense to run it back seven months after their first meeting. Here we discuss the odds and analysis from a betting perspective.

Zhang Weili
Zhang “Magnum” Weili is hoping that training with Henry Cejudo will help her gain an edge after getting slept by Namajunas’s clean, left roundhouse kick to the chin in the first round at UFC 261.
