Joanna Jedrzejczyk News

Harry Kettle - June 9, 2022

Joanna Jedrzejczyk has reacted to the news that Dana White has confirmed the winner of her fight against Weili Zhang will receive a title shot. While she may have been away from the sport of mixed martial arts for two years, Joanna Jedrzejczyk hasn’t taken her eyes off of the prize. The Polish sensation was last seen just before the start of the pandemic in an absolute war with Weili Zhang, with many believing she did enough to win that fight – despite ultimately losing it on the scorecards.

Weili Zhang is hoping her UFC 275 rematch against Joanna Jedrzejczyk will be the most exciting fight of her career. Zhang and Jedrzejczyk fought back at UFC 248 in March of 2020, as ‘Magnum’ was looking to defend her strawweight title for the first time. The fight far exceeded expectations as it is arguably the greatest women’s fight of all time and one of the best fights of all time, period.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk is opening up about her upcoming UFC 275 rematch with Weili Zhang. It will be Jedrzejczyk (21-3 MMA), a former longtime UFC strawweight champion, making her return to the Octagon after more than two years when she enters into the cage with Weili Zhang (16-4 MMA) in a featured bout on the pay-per-view main card at Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Karolina Kowalkiewicz is finally back in the win column and she has expressed gratitude to her former rival. Kowalkiewicz entered UFC Vegas 56 on a five-fight skid. It had been a steep fall for the former UFC Strawweight Title challenger. Her last victory going into Saturday night was back in 2018 and it was against Felice Herrig.

Former UFC strawweight Claudia Gadelha would like a trilogy match with Joanna Jedrzejczyk. However, she doesn’t want it in the cage. The two strawweights have clashed on two occasions already, in 2014 and 2016. Both of the bouts were won by Jedrzejczyk by decision. However, both bouts were quite close, with their 2014 fight ending in a split decision. Meanwhile, their follow-up bout was one of the best of the year.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk thinks going five rounds with Weili Zhang again is doable but she needs to see more green. Jedrzejczyk and Zhang are expected to collide on the UFC 275 PPV. The strawweight rematch is only scheduled for three rounds. This came as a disappointment to many fans as their March 2020 five-round banger is widely considered to be one of the greatest fights in MMA history.

Josh Evanoff - May 11, 2022

Former UFC strawweight titleholder Joanna Jedrzejczyk sees herself as being champion again soon. The Polish fighter is set to return next month at UFC 275 against Weili Zhang. The bout will be her first since March 2020, also against Zhang. Their first bout was arguably the greatest women’s MMA fight ever, which ended with the champion winning via split decision.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk has sent a warning to Carla Esparza following the latter’s win over Rose Namajunas at UFC 274. Next month at UFC 275, Joanna Jedrzejczyk will run it back with Zhang Weili as they square off in a number one contender match-up at strawweight. The victor is expected to go on and challenge for the belt later this year, and after UFC 274, we now know that Carla Esparza is the champion they’d be facing.

Harry Kettle - April 27, 2022

Joanna Jedrzejczyk has revealed that she would be willing to fight Zhang Weili over five rounds instead of three at UFC 275. Throughout the course of their respective careers in mixed martial arts, both Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Zhang Weili have been involved in some incredible contests. Alas, neither has been able to replicate what they produced together at UFC 248 when they battled it out in a remarkable five-round war in Las Vegas.

Former UFC strawweight queen Joanna Jedrzejczyk is set to make her highly anticipated Octagon return in a rematch with Weili Zhang.

Harry Kettle - March 16, 2022

Joanna Jedrzejczyk has given her thoughts on the upcoming rematch between Rose Namajunas and Carla Esparza. While she hasn’t competed inside the Octagon for over two years, Joanna Jedrzejczyk is still a pretty important factor to consider in the UFC’s strawweight division. The former champion is reportedly eyeing a return to the cage this summer, with the plan being for her to take on Zhang Weili in a rematch from their epic encounter at UFC 248.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk claims that Colby Covington talks a big game for someone who is low on cash. Covington has been known to ruffle the feathers of his peers. That even included his teammates when he trained at American Top Team. “Chaos” had beef with Jorge Masvidal, Dustin Poirier, and even Joanna before exiting ATT.

Harry Kettle - February 22, 2022

Former UFC champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk has praised American Top Team teammate Kayla Harrison as her meteoric rise continues. While she may have only been seen by those watching her consistent success in PFL, Kayla Harrison is still a name positioned firmly on the lips of mixed martial arts fans across the globe. She’s been pinpointed as the heir to the throne in women’s MMA and as it turns out, some of her peers agree with that assessment too.

Cole Shelton - February 3, 2022

Joanna Jedrzejczyk has revealed who the hardest puncher she has ever fought is. Jedrzejczyk has fought the who’s who of the strawweight division and even competed at flyweight against Valentina Shevchenko. She shared the Octagon with the likes of Jessica Andrade, Rose Namajunas, and Weili Zhang among others. However, she says Valerie Letourneau is the hardest hitter she has ever fought.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk is aiming to return to MMA competition in 2022. In a recent interview on the ‘Kanal Sportowy Show’ in Poland, Joanna commented:

Adam D Martin - November 29, 2021

Former UFC women’s strawweight champion Carla Esparza says that a Joanna Jedrzejczyk rematch “would be a much different fight.” Esparza defeated Yan Xiaonan earlier this year by TKO in one of the best performances of her UFC career to date. The former champ is now hoping the UFC gives her a title shot against UFC women’s strawweight champion Rose Namajunas — who Esparza previously defeated to become the UFC’s first-ever 115lbs women’s champ — but that is no sure thing. UFC president Dana White has hinted that the promotion is instead looking at a potential matchup for the title between Namajunas and Marina Rodriguez instead, which would leave Esparza on the sidelines without a fight. However, she says she would fight Jedrzejczyk.

Drake Riggs - November 17, 2021

Joanna Jedrzejczyk is eager to get back in the Octagon. The former 115-pound strawweight queen last fought in her instant classic opposite Zhang Weili in March 2020. With the division’s landscape changing dramatically almost by the week, there are plenty of great matchups awaiting a returning Jedrzejczyk – some faces more familiar than others.

Adam Martin - October 29, 2021

Dana White responded after Joanna Jedrzejczyk asked for a bigger piece of cake, saying that “Joanna ate a lot of cake when she was champion.” Despite having not fought since March 2020, Jedrzejczyk has been in the news as of late for several reasons. First, divisional rival Marina Rodriguez said that she wanted to see her removed from the rankings following her win over Mackenzie Dern earlier this month. After that, the UFC rankings did in fact remove Jedrzejczyk from the rankings pool. Since then, she has come out and said that she would like to return to the UFC and plans to in 2022, but she is hoping to get a new contract, or as she says, “a bigger piece of the cake.”
