In an interview with Brett Okamoto of ESPN discussing the past year and what the future holds for UFC, President Dana White opened up about what he thought of Weili’s Championship.
Dana White: She’s going to be a massive star
When asked what he thought was the significance of Weili winning the belt coming from that area of the world, White summed it up in one word - ‘Huge.’
Weili is set to defend her title for the first time against former Champion Joanna Jędrzejczyk next year in Las Vegas. White brought that up as well, saying what an impact it would have on the people watching back in China to see a fighter coming out of there fighting in Vegas.
White added that if Weili successfully defends her belt and continues to do so regularly, there is no stopping her from becoming one of the biggest stars in the promotion ever.
The title fight will take place at UFC 248 on March 7, 2020 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
