In what could be easily the best female MMA fight ever, Weili Zhang retained the UFC’s female strawweight belt after going toe-to-to for five crazy rounds against Joanna Jedrzejczyk and scoring a split decision at UFC 248. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the fight
For JJ to win she has to stick and move.

Please don’t carry your fighter to her corner if you’re trying to sway the judges score.

No idea how to really score this fight to be honest. And man, it’d be crazy if JJ beats Zhang since she beat Andrade, who beat Rose, who beat JJ. That’s entirely possible right now. #UFC248

What a WAR between @joannamma and the chinese machine @zhangweilimma ?!
Congrats to both of them #UFC248— Francis Ngannou (@francis_ngannou) March 8, 2020
Close fight. Could’ve gone either way. But considering the #coronavirus situation in China, I believe China needed this win the most. Congrats to China and Zhang Weili and hope this hard fought victory inspires and gives strength to the Chinese nation.
