UFC star Joanna Jedrzejczyk is promising more violence in her rematch with Zhang Weili this weekend, but is hoping not to take as much damage as in their first fight.
The Polish fighter was brutally disfigured during their first fight after taking major shots to the head from her Chinese rival, ultimately losing a razor-close decision. The bout took place at UFC 248 right before the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, and ended up being named Fight of the Year after the pair went hell for leather in a brutal five-round war.
Jedrzejczyk hasn't fought in the two years since, while Zhang has been defeated twice in the meantime by Rose Namajunas, losing her belt in the process. The duo will only have three rounds between them this time around, and Jedrzejczyk believes she will need controlled violence to pick up the win.
