Zhang Weili and Joanna Jedrzejczyk laid it all on the line in arguably the greatest female fight in UFC history. Then-strawweight champion Weili defended her title against ex-champ Jedrzejczyk in the co-main event of UFC 248, where both women stood and traded for all five rounds. Round 1, the pair started out by exchanging low kicks. Jedrzejczyk landed the first significant strike with a beautiful one-two combination, prompting Weili to ramp up the aggression by throwing heat in the pocket. Weili continued to press forward and appeared to land the more significant shots. She was awarded Round 1 on two of the three judges’ scorecards
