One of the best UFC fights of all time gets it's rematch in Singapore.

On the main card at UFC 27,5 Weili Zhang will look to snap a 2 fight losing streak against the last fighter she beat, Joanna Jedrzejczyk, in one of the greatest MMA fights of all time. Zhang won by split decision to defend the Strawweight crown in March of 2020, but is now off of two losses to former champ, Rose Namajunas.

Jedrzejczyk has been on the shelf for two-plus years now and will be looking to avenge the loss.

Let's break down the odds from WynnBET Sportsbook and find the best bet.

Total: 2.5 (Over -250/Under +200)

Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Weili Zhang Prediction and Pick

The line is similar to the first matchup, Zhang closed as a -195 favorite according to Tapology, but the number has come down.

So, what's happened since their epic match that ended in a split decision? Zhang was KO'd by Rose Namajunas by a head kick and then lost a narrow decision. Meanwhile, the Polish born fighter has been inactive but is getting respect in the market.

I think that Zhang is likely being undervalued in this spot off of two losses in a row, both filled with variance. The former champion is the far superior striker, posting 10 knockouts in 21 victories, and in a 3 round fight should be able to push a pace and land the more damaging shots against Jedrzejczyk similar to their first fight.

While 5 rounds could favor Jedrzejcyk (average fight time of 19:24 per UFCStats.com and 11 of 16 wins by decision), this is a 3 round bout, and Zhang's gas tank will be less of a question.

Give me the better striker to win a brawl and reaffirm that she is a contender at strawweight.

LEAN: Weili Zhang (-160)
