UFC rankings update: Joanna Jedrzejczyk gains little ground

By Tom Taylor - October 17, 2019

Former UFC strawweight champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk picked up a big win in the main event of UFC Tampa last Saturday night, battering Michelle Waterson to a unanimous decision triumph. Unfortunately for Jedrzejczyk, this victory did little to elevate her station in the official UFC rankings.
