Daniel Cormier breaks down Weili-Jedrzejczyk classic from UFC 248 in new ‘Detail’ on ESPN+

UFC 248 is only a little more than two weeks old, and the co-main event already is an all-time classic.

Monday on ESPN+, former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier will do a deep dive into the women’s strawweight title bout between champ Zhang Weili (21-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) and former champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk (16-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) in a new episode of “Detail.” The show airs at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN+.

Weili beat Jedrzejczyk with a split decision to retain her title in her first defense after winning the belt from Jessica Andrade in 2019. There was an argument to be made that Jedrzejczyk did enough to win the fight. But regardless of the outcome, the fight was close enough and bloody enough to go down as arguably the best fight in women’s MMA history and had many fans and analysts talking about the need for a rematch straight away.

Cormier, who along with being an all-time great fighter also works as an analyst on UFC broadcasts, will break down the fight and give his take on “Detail.”

But what did you think of the “Fight of the Night” classic? How did you score it? Weigh in below in our poll, and then don’t miss Cormier’s breakdown on Monday’s new episode.
