Tecia Torres vs. Weili Zhang booked for UFC 235 in March
After making an impression with a dominant win on the UFC’s recent card in Beijing, Chinese standout Weili Zhang will get a major step up in competition when she takes on Tecia Torres at UFC 235.
UFC officials today announced the strawweight matchup between Torres (10-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) and Zhang (18-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC).
UFC 235 takes place March 2 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims expected to air on an ESPN platform and possibly UFC Fight Pass.
Torres, No. 8 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA strawweight rankings, is coming off the most high-profile loss her career. “The Tiny Tornado” lost a unanimous decision to former longtime 115-pound champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk at UFC on FOX 30 in July, putting her on the first two-fight skid of her career.
No. 15-ranked Zhang, meanwhile, is on a completely different trajectory at the moment. She is on an absurd 18-fight winning streak in MMA competition, including a first-round submission blowout against former WSOF champ Jessica Aguilar at UFC Fight Night 141 this month.
The matchup between Torres and Zhang marks the first addition to the UFC 235 card.
