BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Weili Zhang vs. Rose Namajunas:
Randy Brown, UFC welterweight: Thug Rose by decision. She will out volume Zhang.
Vicente Luque, UFC welterweight: Weili Zhang has looked unbeatable. She has a crazy style and is very strong and fast. Rose Namajunas is more technical but is hit and miss if she shows up. To me, it is a 50-50 fight but I will say the champ, defends her belt.
