UFC women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk has ruled over the women’s 115 pound division for two years, defending her belt four times during her reign. This weekend, Jedrzejczyk will look to make it five straight title defenses as she steps into the Octagon against Jessica Andrade this weekend at UFC 211. With that being said, the champ hasn’t forgotten about her ultimate goal, to become the first UFC women’s two-division champion now that the UFC has created a women’s flyweight division.

https://youtu.be/gjW1s64Xksc Poland’s Joanna Jedrzejczyk is one of the most dominant champions in the UFC today. Since winning the strawweight title from inaugural champion Carla Esparza in early 2015, she has defended it four times, and in a few short weeks, she’ll attempt to make it five. Her next defense will pit her against aggressive Brazilian finisher Jessica Andrade, in the co-main event of the absurdly stacked UFC 211.

Last weekend, in the co-main event of UFC on Fox 24, strawweight star “Thug” Rose Namajunas scored an epic win over the game Michelle Waterson, dropping her with a second-round head-kick, and finishing her off with a rear-naked choke. With this win, Namajunas seems to have earned herself a shot at the winner of Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Jessica Andrade’s upcoming strawweight title fight, which will serve as the co-main event of UFC 211 on May 13 in Dallas, Texas. On Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour, Namajunas weighed in on the possibility of a strawweight title fight – particularly on a potential showdown with the current champ Jedrzejczyk, who does not seem to be a fan of hers.

UFC strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk has quietly emerged as one of the most dominant champions in the UFC. She has now defended her title four times, and is preparing for a fifth defense of that title, as she’s scheduled for a title fight with the dangerous Jessica Andrade in the co-main event of May’s UFC 211. Despite the fact that the two fighters have had a friendly relationship in the past, Andrade and her camp have made several negative comments about Jedrzejczyk in the buildup to this fight.

With less than two months to go until Joanna Jedrzejczyk steps into the Octagon in hopes of defending her UFC women’s strawweight title for the 5th time as she faces Jessica Andrade, the trash talk is heating up between the two women. Recently, Andrade questioned the champ’s chin, claiming that Jedrzejczyk has a weak chin, and can be shut down with unrelenting pressure. Those comments caught the champ off guard given that she and Andrade’s manager, who used to also manage Jedrzejczyk, were once very close.

This May, in the co-main event of UFC 211, dominant UFC strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk will attempt to make the fifth defense of her title against dangerous Brazilian contender Jessica Andrade. While Jedrzejczyk’s victory against an opponent of Andrade’s caliber is far from guaranteed, she is already looking ahead to her next challenge as UFC strawweight queen. On a recent episode of The MMA Hour, Jedrzejczyk explained that, if she beats Andrade, she expects her next challenger to be “The Karate Hottie” Michelle Waterson. For this to happen, Waterson will first have to defeat the ever-dangerous Rose Namajunas, who she’s scheduled to fight this April.

According to a report from Poland’s Sport.pl, the next fight of Joanna Jedrzejczyk’s incredible reign as UFC strawweight champion will occur at UFC 211, on May 13 in Dallas, Texas. This challenge will be provided by streaking Brazilian contender Jessica Andrade. When we last saw Jedrzejczyk in action, she defeated fellow Polish striker Karolina Kowalkiewicz in the first of three title fights on November’s UFC 205 lineup. This win marked her fourth consecutive defense of the UFC strawweight title. She proceeded this fourth defense with decision wins over Claudia Gadelha and Valerie Letourneau, a bloody TKO defeat of Jessica Penne, and a second-round bludgeoning of Carla Esparza, which earned her the divisional crown. The strawweight queen currently owns a flawless pro record of 13-0.

Last month, we learned that dominant UFC strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk had returned to American Top Team to begin training for her next fight. Her opponent for this next fight, however, remained a mystery. On Saturday night, that changed. Though it was widely speculated that the next strawweight title shot would go to Michelle Waterson, who recently burst into contention with a quick win over Paige Van Zant, that shot will instead go to Brazil’s Jessica Andrade, who won big on the main card of the UFC’s latest trip to Houston.
