In the first episode of UFC 268 Embedded: Vlog Series, Namajunas was seen watching the promotional video of her rematch against Zhang.
She shared her excitement for the bout, saying:
"It just gets you excited, man. She [Zhang Weili] believes she's the better fighter. She finds it hard to believe that I'm the better fighter and I'm the best even though I've got the belt so, you know I'm looking forward to testing that out on November 6."
