Today is April 30, 2024, after the end of the Chinese derby between Zhang Weili and Yan Xiaonan, Suarez challenged Zhang Weili. In an interview with the media, she said that she would 100% submit Zhang Weili. With her calling, the vast majority of fans believe that Zhang's next opponent will be Suarez. Because judging from the UFC women's strawweight rankings, Suarez is currently ranked first, and Yan Xiaonan is ranked second from the original first.
But my personal opinion may not be like that, if I were Dana White, then I wouldn't let this fight play out so quickly. The reason is actually very simple, that is, if Suarez defeats Zhang Weili and wins the UFC women's strawweight championship. So after she becomes a champion, once her old injury recurs, she can't fight with others, even if she is very strong, even if she has a lot of market appeal, but because of the recurrence of her old injury, then once she encounters a major fight, such as a big fight like UFC 300, Suarez can't play, then it will be a loss for Dana White.
And Zhang Weili is different, Zhang Weili is very honest compared to Suarez. Her physical condition is very good, and there is no mention of such a state of injury. Therefore, whenever Dana White wants to hold a big competition and wants to arrange Zhang Weili's competition, she can appear in the arena. But Suarez is different, Suarez may have the quality to challenge for the championship because of an old injury, and she also has the strength to become a champion, but her physical condition may not allow her to appear in the octagon at any time. So, if I were UFC President Dana White, then I wouldn't let this fight go on so quickly.
