Fight fans and pundits would feel safe to predict that a potential match-up between the two would be a technical slug-fest.

Rose Namajunas would have a tall task ahead of her in the form of the Chinese champion Zhang Weili. ‘Magnum’ has been a tyrant in the division and displayed nothing but dominance in all her outings.
