Virna Jandiroba solidified her claim for a title shot by defeating Yan Xiaonan at UFC 314, marking her fifth consecutive victory. The former Invicta FC champion expressed confidence in her ability and stated that she is ready to fight UFC strawweight champion Weili Zhang or any contender for the title. As Zhang has become a dominant force in the division, the discussions around her next fight are generating intense interest. Jandiroba's recent performances highlight her potential as a serious title challenger, especially as the division seeks a resolution to its championship landscape.
I've done all the work, I beat five very high level opponents all back-to-back. If it's Weili, great, I'll go where ever I have to go to fight her. But if it's against another person in case Weili goes away, that's fine. I'll fight whoever, but the title fight has to be next.
Let's be honest, yes. I want the title.
In my case, for sure. If Zhang is going to try and hold both belts, that could cause delays for the 115-lb division.
The question of who and where UFC strawweight champ Weili Zhang will fight next has been a hot one the past year. She's all but cleaned out the 115lb division, with Jandiroba one of the last names she hasn't faced.
