Yan Xiaonan thinks UFC 288 win over Jessica Andrade could lead to title shot vs. Zhang Weili

MORRISTOWN, N.J. – Yan Xiaonan sees title implications with a win at UFC 288.

Xiaonan (16-3 MMA, 7-2 UFC) takes on former strawweight champion Jessica Andrade (24-10 MMA, 15-8 UFC) in Saturday’s featured main card bout at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN/ESPN+.

With her last three wins coming over Mackenzie Dern, Claudia Gadelha, and Karolina Kowalkiewicz, Xiaonan hopes beating Andrade earns her a shot at strawweight champ Zhang Weili.
