SINGAPORE – Zhang Weili might’ve become the front runner for Knockout of the Year.
The former UFC strawweight champion had a career highlight finish Saturday when she knocked out Joanna Jedrzejczyk with an insane spinning backfist in their rematch at UFC 275. The official stoppage came at the 2:28 mark of Round 2.
This 115-pound contest was designated by UFC president Dana White as a title eliminator bout. Weili (22-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) is now expected to challenge champion Carla Esparza in the near future.
