Daniel Cormier thinks Yan Xiaonan should be next for UFC strawweight champion Zhang Weili.
After retaining her title in a dominant performance against Amanda Lemos in this past Saturday’s UFC 292 co-headliner at TD Garden in Boston, Weili (24-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) said she’d be open to facing Xiaonan or Tatiana Suarez next.
Both Xiaonan (15-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) and Suarez are coming off finishes of former champ Jessica Andrade. But, with the UFC rumored to make it’s return to China at the end of the year, Cormier says they can’t miss out on having an all China headliner between Weili and Xiaonan.
