Yazmin Jauregui doesn’t see UFC champ Zhang Weili being dethroned ‘until it’s our turn’

Yazmin Jauregui sees the UFC women’s strawweight division finally have some consistency at the top.

The unbeaten prospect doesn’t think the championship will continue to change hands, as has been the case for the category in recent years. In the past four years, the UFC’s 115-pound title has been exchanged five times. The most recent example came earlier this month, when Zhang Weili dethroned Carla Esparza in the co-main event of UFC 281 in New York.

Jauregui (9-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) feels the Chinese fighter is positioned to be champion for the foreseeable future, including if she has a third fight with Rose Namajunas, whom she’s lost against twice already.
