The Ultimate Fighting Championship makes its first stop in Shenzhen, China, for UFC on ESPN+ 15: Andrade vs. Zhang, where UFC strawweight champion Jessica Andrade will make the first defense of the belt she won by defeating Rose Namajunas at UFC 237.
Andrade is on a hot streak, having won her four most consecutive bouts, defeating the likes of Tecia Torres, Claudia Gadelha, and Karolina Kowalkiewicz in addition to Namajunas. Her first title defense will be no easy task, however. Andrade puts her belt on the line against Weili Zhang on the Chinese fighter’s home turf.

Now, 19 bouts later, Zhang takes a 19-1 record into her first shot at a UFC title. She has won all three of her fights in the Octagon. Zhang has the opportunity to make history at UFC on ESPN+ 15, where she can become the first Chinese UFC champion.
The co-main event features another popular Chinese fighter in Li Jingliang, who is 8-3 during his Octagon tenure. He’ll face Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos, who is on a seven-fight winning streak.
