In the first title defense of the night, Namajunas vs Zhang is a rematch from last April. A first-round head kick turned the lights out on Zhang, who was certainly looking like a champion prior to that fight. The instant rematch, paired with the fact that Zhang is the UFC betting favorite, points to his being one hell of a fight.
For champion Thug Rose, this is her third rematch in six fights. She took care of business in the previous two. We’ll see if she can keep the trend going.
These two women will look to prove that sequels can in fact be more entertaining than the original.
