Former UFC women’s strawweight champion Zhang Weili is confident she can defeat current women’s flyweight titleholder Valentina Shevchenko due to her fighting style.
Zhang Weili
All I do every day is eat, sleep, train, and research techniques. I think my fighting style changes with each match. I’m constantly switching up my techniques, switching up my style. So my advantage is that tactically, I’m constantly showing different things. I think Valentina is very well-rounded, but I also feel I’ve become more well-rounded as well.
