Saturday's UFC 275 main card has a title rematch in the Strawweight division.

While the second meeting between Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Weili Zhang won't have the same stakes as the first one (a championship belt), these two will follow up their epic title fight from 2020, which some think is the best women's MMA fight ever.

Zhang won that fight, and has since dropped two bouts to Rose Namajunas. Meanwhile, Jedrzejczyk has not fought since this epic clash and will look to even it up with her opponent. Before we break down what the Jab, Cross, Hook crew thinks, here are the odds from WynnBET Sportsbook:

Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Weili Zhang Prediction and Pick

Iain MacMillian took Zhang in the first round of the Jab, Cross, Hook betting draft, citing that rematches tend to go in favor of the fighter that won the first fight.

"We've seen the best Jedrzejczyk has to offer where as I think Weili Zhang still has room to grow," he said. "I think they are trending in opposite directions."

Meanwhile, FanSided MMA Editor Amy Kaplan is siding with the underdog this time around, taking Jedrzejczyk in the second round to pull the upset, citing that she thinks the close decision makes her confident this time around.

While Jedrzejczyk hasn't fought in more than two years, she is coming in at a similar price as their first bout. For more on this high level Strawweight battle, check out our fight preview.
