Can Jessica Andrade vs. Weili Zhang become an upper-echelon fight in MMA history?

The women’s strawweight title is on the line in the UFC on ESPN+ 15 main event Saturday.

Jessica Andrade (20-6 MMA, 11-4 UFC) puts her belt up for grabs for the first time since winning it in highlight-reel fashion against Rose Namajunas earlier this year in her home country of Brazil. Now she has to venture into enemy territory to take on challenger Weili Zhang (19-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) in Zhang’s home country of China.

UFC on ESPN+ 15 takes place Saturday at Universiade Sports Center in Shenzhen, China. The main card streams on ESPN+ following prelims on ESPN.
