<p>On the other hand we have <strong>Rose Namajunas </strong>who will have the opportunity to regain the womens strawweight champion belt in the <strong>UFC</strong> after having lost it when she was knocked out by <strong>Jessica Andrade</strong> at <strong>UFC 237</strong> Despite this loss <strong>Namajunas</strong> is coming from a stupendous victory taking revenge on <strong>Andrade</strong> at <strong>UFC 251 in 2020</strong> where she won by split decision</p>

<p>Former female strawweight champion <strong>Namajunas</strong> has stated that defeating <strong>Zhang</strong> in the <strong>UFC 261 </strong>event would mean more than a victory for her it would be a vindication where she would once again be the owner of the championship belt Another strong statement by <strong>Namajunas</strong> is that for her defeating Zhang would be like defeating communism This without a doubt is a perfect seasoning that can predict how interesting and intense the fight will be</p>

<p>This fight will be between two fighters who are used to this type of fight Both fighters have been bearers of the championship belt that is why due to experience we could say that they are on par However the current streak and the inspiration with which <strong>Weili Zhang</strong> brings makes us believe that she will be able to finish off <strong>Namajuna</strong>s long before the fight ends Therefore we place our winner token on <strong>Weili Zhang</strong></p>
