Zhang Weili to Defend Title Against Yan Xiaonan at UFC 300

Announcement met with disappointment from fans hoping for more exciting match-up

UFC CEO Dana White announces a title fight between strawweight champion Zhang Weili and Yan Xiaonan for UFC 300, marking the first time two Chinese contenders have faced off for a world title.
The announcement has been met with disappointment from fans who were hoping for a more exciting match-up, with many expressing their dissatisfaction on social media.
Zhang Weili, who has successfully defended her title twice, is currently ranked as the top pound-for-pound women's MMA fighter in the world.
Yan Xiaonan, also from China, is coming off a first-round knockout of former champion Jessica Andrade and is the No. 2 fighter in the official UFC women's strawweight rankings.
Dana White has promised to make more announcements in the coming days, with at least two more fights expected to be added to the UFC 300 card.
