News Zhang Weili Wants To Fight Alexa Grasso For Flyweight Belt At UFC 300, Alexa Is Willing

[Better Every Day]

Would you want to watch a champ vs champ fight between Weili and Alexa at 125 lbs?

 

[Liverkick-king56]

I'd rather see Blanchfield or Fiorot get their deserved title shots but UFC probably makes more money with this fight

 

[El Fernas]

Book it, less chances of some BW's on the same card.

125 and WMMA BMF Belts

Weili moving up to 125 lbs would open the door for Yan Xiaonan to go for the strawweight belt without having to displace a Chinese champion in the process.

If Zhang vacates then I guess. If not then hell no

Is that the reason they haven't fought yet? Anybody know?

Why does it need to be the WMMA BMF belt? Why not just the BMF belt?

Or do we not want to take that away from Gaethje?

I like Zhang but her whole game is based on physicality and speed. She is getting older now and she will be the smaller fighter. I am not saying Zhang isn't technical but she hasn't really showed anything slick on her feet. I am not sure if she can deal with a sharp jab for 5 rounds. I wouldn't be surprised if Zhang gets going and bulldozes Grasso though.

This shit is getting so corny.
It's making me hate Conor for fucking up the sport having at least a LITTLE bit of order and respectability.

There should be a 5 title defense minimum before anyone can attempt a second title AND the champ requesting a 2nd belt should have to have fought 5x in the prior 2 years to demonstrate they could be active enough to not completely logjam 2 divisions.

Then they still shouldn't do it.

They actually want to fight each other.

Hate Conor by all means, but the UFC deserves most of the blame. Conor wasn't the first to want the opportunities he was given. What's more, the UFC could abort this annoying trend in a trice if they so choose.

What's the hold up then?

Wow. Even wmma callouts are boring af…

Yeah, but chicks...Sometimes they even dance at weigh-ins.
