Zhang Weili is 24-3 overall in her professional MMA career which started back in 2013. After losing on her debut, she went on to win 21 fights in a row, including two titles fights. She won the title with a TKO win over Jessica Andrade and defended it against Joanna Jedrzejczyk in a bloody battle that was later declared the Fight of the Year by the UFC.
But then, she lost twice in a row to Rose Namajunas. She bounced back onto the winning track with another win over Jedrzejczyk. She won the fight with a spinning backfist which was later awarded the Performance of the Year bonus by the UFC.

Yan is 17-3 with two of those losses happening in the UFC. First, Carla Esparza beat her by a TKO in 2021. Then, she lost to Marina Rodriguez by a split decision a year later. In late 2022, she ended her losing streak with a majority-decision win over Mackenzie Dern.
In her most recent fight, she KO-ed Jessica Andrade in the first round, which is actually the reason why she got an invite to fight for the title at UFC 300.
