UFC strawweight champion Weili Zhang ’s latest battle isn’t taking place inside the cage. Zhang (20-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) became the first fighter from her native country of The People’s Republic of China to sport UFC gold when she ran through then-champion Jessica Andrade via first-round TKO in late August. Before her first title defense has even been scheduled, Zhang has found herself in the midst of another kind of fight. The 30-year-old has been unable to get a visa to the United States, she announced on her Instagram page Monday morning. The post from Zhang can be seen below: View this post on Instagram My American visa was refused again. I don't know why
