Dern seeks Zhang Weili rematch

    Mackenzie Dern, the reigning UFC strawweight champion, is reportedly angling for a fight with former 115-pound titleholder Zhang Weili.

    Zhang relinquished the strawweight belt last October and recently moved up to flyweight where she suffered a loss, and a return to 115 pounds is being discussed.

    Dern won the vacant title at UFC 321 and views a showdown with Zhang as the most definitive way to bolster her credentials.

    Sources say camps are targeting the first half of 2026 for the bout, with May or June mentioned as potential dates.

    Dern is juggling new promotional duties while trying to maintain her training ahead of a likely title defense.

    No official confirmation has been released and agreement on terms is reportedly still being negotiated.
