Off the back of a dominant unanimous decision victory over one-time flyweight title chaser, Lauren Murphy at UFC 283 in her native Brazil last weekend, former strawweight champion, Jessica Andrade has sights on securing a title rematch with Zhang Weili – this time on her own home soil.
Andrade, the current #4 ranked strawweight contender, made her flyweight division return on the main card of UFC 283 last Saturday night in Rio de Janeiro, landing a one-sided unanimous decision (30-25, 30-25, 30-26) victory over the Anchorage native at the Jeunesse Arena.
A former champion at 155lbs, Andrade managed to defeat former two-time division best, Rose Namajunas in the main event of UFC 237 in 2019, landing a vicious slam KO win over the former to clinch the undisputed title.
In her first attempted title defense, Andrade headlined a UFC Fight Night Shenzhen card in August of that year, dropping her championship in just 42-seconds to Weili who land a quickfire flurry at the Octagon fence.
Eyeing up a championship rematch off the back of her decision win over Murphy, Andrade called for the fight to take place in her native Brazil this go round.
“I feel like now is the opportunity for the belt,” Jessica Andrade told assembled media through an interpreter following UFC 283. “I want to fight for the belt at 52 kilos (115lbs) or 57 (kilos) (125lbs), if the opportunity arises as well.”
“I really want that rematch with (Zhang) Weili,” Jessica Andrade explained. “I really wanted it to be in Brazil. I went to China, so I think that would be fair. The rematch would be really cool. That’s the next step: Have the rematch with Weili.”
3-0 since suffering a dominant flyweight title loss to Valentina Shevchenko in 2021, Andrade stopped Cynthia Calvillo with strikes, before submitting compatriot, Amanda Lemos in stunning fashion last April with a standing arm-triangle win, prior to Saturday’s decision win over Murphy.

The Chinese-born UFC strawweight world champion Zhang Weili has called out the women’s flyweight queen Valentina Shevchenko for a championship super fight showdown. In a recent interview with MMA Junkie’s Mike Bohn, the Kyrgyz fighter responded.
After capturing her strawweight throne by defeating Carla Esparza, ‘Magnum‘ Zhang Weili explained who she wants in her next bout. She told China Daily:
“There are so many great fighters in this division at the moment. I don’t have a particular name that I want to fight for now. I will wait for the call from UFC to decide which one is more appealing … [On Valentina Shevchenko] I think it would be a great fight (and) it’s one I’ve considered before. She is a very versatile fighter with a complete package. I hope it can be arranged whenever UFC sees fit.”
While speaking to Mike Bohn at the annual World MMA Awards, ‘Bullet’ Shevchenko responded:
“It’s one of the options of what can happen, definitely. I saw her recent fight. She’s gotten stronger, more tactical. But if the fight is gonna happen, that’s not gonna help her.” (H/T MMANews)
In this super fight showdown, Zhang Weili would likely be going up in weight to challenge for the flyweight crown against the long-reigning Shevchenko.
Aside from the Zhang match, Shevchenko has other super-fight options. She is 0-2 against the reigning two-division champion Amanda Nunes, but is interested in revenge. Regarding facing Nunes, Shevchenko said:
“Actually, always. There is interest always. And I [am] actually ready for that because it’s a fight that makes sense … Any super fight would be good.”
For challenger in her own strawweight division, the reigning champion Valentina Shevchenko said:
“I think the next challenger I would consider Alexa Grasso and [Manon] Fiorot. These are two challengers who are extremely good and ready for this title test. Any of them.”
The UFC women’s flyweight world champion Valentina Shevchenko concluded with:
“I’m ready.”
