One of the greatest fights in the history of women's MMA, if not the greatest fight in the history of women's MMA, now has its rightful place in the UFC Hall of Fame.
The UFC 248 women's strawweight championship contest between Weili Zhang and Joanna Jedrzejczyk has been announced as the newest inductee into the UFC Hall of Fame Class of 2026, as part of its Fight Wing.
The announcement was made during the UFC 326 broadcast. It marks the first women's fight to be honored in the UFC Hall of Fame.
Over five rounds, the two women clashed relentlessly, putting on jaw-dropping striking displays against one another. Jedrzejczyk displayed strong combinations, while Zhang found great success with her powerful punching.
Neither fighter appeared to slow down their momentum, and nearly all five rounds could have fallen either fighters' way. Jedrzejczyk sported a massive hematoma on her head by the fight's end, but the two went pillar to post, back-and-forth for a full 25 minutes.
Zhang earned the decision win, but both women were seen as winners after the fight, which earned 2020's Fight of the Year honors.
This is Jedrzejczyk's second UFC Hall of Fame induction, being named an individual entrant inducted into the Modern Wing in 2024.
The fight joins Dominick Cruz in the UFC Hall of Fame's 2026 class.
