This is the UFC 312 live blog for Zhang Weili vs. Tatiana Suarez, the strawweight title fight this Saturday in Sydney.
A two-time strawweight champion, Zhang (25-3) has beaten nearly everyone she’s faced in MMA, with her only losses in the UFC coming against Rose Namajunas. Since Namajunas left the division, though, Zhang has been on a run of dominance, establishing herself as one of the best pound-for-pound women on the planet. With three successful title defenses under her belt already, Zhang is on the cusp of establishing herself as the greatest 115-pounder in history with a win on Saturday and possibly as one of the greatest of all time in any weight class.
Thought by many to be a future champion at 115 pounds when she entered the UFC, Suarez’s career has been beset by injuries. A nearly four-year layoff from 2019 to 2023 due to injury took the prime years of her career away, but the undefeated Suarez (10-0) can still make good on her promise with a win on Saturday.
