UFC Women's Flyweight Champion Zhang Weili and former champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk turned in an instant classic in the UFC 248 co-main event.
The two women went toe-to-toe for 25-minutes busting each other up with cumulative striking and power shots. By the end of it, Joe Rogan called it the "greatest title fight in women's history" and given the action, many fighters didn't argue. In the end, Weili picked up a split decision victory (48-47, 47-48, 48-47) to retain her title.
Here's how fellow fighters reacted the bout.
Arguably the GREATEST fight in women's mixed martial arts history! --
