This weekend, in the co-main event of the UFC’s trip to Kansas City, Michelle Waterson and Rose Namajunas will collide in a crucial strawweight contender bout. The winner of this fight could well earn the next crack at the winner of Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Jessica Andrade’s UFC 211 title fight – at least, that’s what the champ Jedrzejczyk thinks. “I believe that the winner of the fight between Michelle Waterson and Rose Namajunas will be my next opponent,” the champ told Fox Sports. “I will be watching this fight.”

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.

With a flawless, 13-0 record, and four-straight title defenses to her name, UFC strawweight queen Joanna Jedrzejczyk has established herself as one of the most dominant champions in the promotion. As such, Brazil’s Jessica Andrade will have a serious task on her hands when she attempts to dethrone Jedrzejczyk in the co-main event of the stacked UFC 211 this May. Apparently, however, Andrade has already developed a game plan for her upcoming fight with the champ, and that game plan hinges on one key factor: pressure. The talented Brazilian contender explained this strategy in an interview with MMAJunkie.com.

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.

In one weeks’ time, women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes will make the first defense of her title. She will do so against former champion Ronda Rousey, who has not been seen in action since she was knocked out by a Holly Holm head kick in November of 2015. In advance of this fight, fans, pundits and fellow fighters are divided on who they think will come out on top. Some picture Rousey reclaiming the throne with a vintage victory. Others imagine Nunes mauling the long absent Rousey to retain the title. Others are unwilling to make a prediction one way or the other.

Last weekend, the UFC made its long awaited debut in New York City with UFC 205. To celebrate this Big Apple debut, the organization stacked the card with massive fights, including a whopping three title bouts. The first of these title bouts saw reigning strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk attempt the fourth defense of her title opposite fellow Polish star Karolina Kowalkiewicz. Though she was wobbled by Kowalkiewicz in the fourth round, the strawweight queen was dominant throughout the rest of her fight, and would ultimately leave New York City with a unanimous decision win, and her title.

UFC women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk is undoubtably one of the greatest female mixed martial artists on the planet. With a 12-0 professional mixed martial arts record to go along with a 27-2 professional kickboxing record to go with several world Muay Thai championships, Jedrzejczyk is shaping quite the impressive legacy for herself.

Since joining the UFC in mid-2014, strawweight striker Joanna Jedrzejczyk has established herself as one of the best fighters on earth, and as one the sport’s brightest shining stars. In her first two fights with the organization, she took decisions from Juliana Lima in Claudia Gadelha. In her third fight in the Octagon, she claimed the strawweight title with a second-round destruction of former champ Carla Esparza. From there, she would go on to defend the title three times, first TKOing Jessica Penne, then decisioning Valerie Letourneau, and finally defeating Claudia Gadelha in a hard-fought rematch in her most recent fight.

UFC women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk is currently ranked as the #8 pound for pound fighter in the world on the UFC’s official rankings. With a 12-0 professional record that has seen Jedrzejczyk go 6-0 inside the Octagon, including three defenses of the women’s strawweight championship, Jedrzejczyk’s dominance in the sport can’t be ignored. While Jedrzejczyk reigns as the women’s strawweight champion, she has expressed a desire to move up to flyweight, and become not only the first ever women’s flyweight champion, but also the first female fighter to hold two championship belts. At the present time however, the UFC currently does not have a women’s flyweight division, leaving Jedrzejczyk to continue her reign over the women’s strawweight division.
