You will have to win a competition on her Facebook page, but you can score a copy of “UFC 2” with strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk on it.
While most versions feature Conor McGregor and Ronda Rousey, it appears a few limited-edition copies are being created, as well.
Jedrzejczyk will appear on the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter as a coach opposite July title contender Claudia Gadelha.

The mega-event known as UFC 200 continues to grow, at least according to reported fights.
The latest to join the July 7 event is a lightweight contest between Joe Lauzon and Diego Sanchez. Vendetta Fighter was the first to report the bout.
Lauzon (25-11) was bested by Evan Dunham in December, dropping him to just 1-2 over his last three. Following wins over Mac Danzig and Micheal Chiesa, the 13-time “bonus” winner was defeated by Al Iaquinta.
Between the Dunham and Iaquinta defeats, the former Ultimate Fighter competitor did finish Takanori Gomi.
Sanchez (26-8) is 2-1 since a pair of setbacks to Myles Jury and Gilbert Melendez, defeating Jim Miller earlier this month. He also defeated Ross Pearson in 2014 and was topped by Ricardo Lamas between the victories.
Like Lauzon, Sanchez has recorded seven “Fight of the Night” honors. He is also a former winner of TUF, having captured the Season 1 middleweight crown.
No bouts have been made official for the card, but previously reported ones include Conor McGregor-Nate Diaz 2, Cain Velasquez-Travis Browne, Johny Hendricks-Kelvin Gastelum and Gegard Mousasi-Derek Brunson.
On the heels of three consecutive wins, Emmanuel Sanchez found himself a hot property in the MMA world.
Bellator MMA took notice, agreeing to a new contract with the fighter recently.
Sanchez (13-2) is just 25 years old but has already competed 15 times as a pro. He trains out of Roufusport in Milwaukee. Following a 2015 loss to former champion Pat Curran, Sanchez has rebounded with decision wins over Henry Corrales, Justin Lawrence and Daniel Pineda.
Below is the complete press release provided by Bellator:
Bellator MMA is proud to announce that it has retained the services of 25-year-old talent Emmanuel Sanchez (13-2), having re-signed the exciting fighter to a multi-year, multi-fight contract extension.
Sanchez boasts a 6-1 record under the Bellator banner, with his only loss coming in the form of a decision at the hands of former featherweight champion Pat Curran (21-7). The exciting product from the famed Roufusport Team earned his contract extension after winning three fights in a row against Henry Corrales (12-2), Justin Lawrence (8-3) and Daniel Pineda (21-12) all in under five months.
“El Matador’s” fight against Pineda kicked off action for the record breaking “Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie” event that was watched by over 3.5 million viewers. You can watch the enthralling action by clicking on the image below.
Sanchez trains under the tutelage of highly regarded coach Duke Roufus alongside former WWE superstar CM Punk and other talented MMA fighters the likes of Ben Askren and Anthony Pettis. Earlier this month, Roufus shed light on a positive story involving an MMA fighter and a motor vehicle, when he announced that Sanchez had used his “Bellator 149” purse to buy a new car for his mother.

Thanks to the recent arrest of Jon Jones, the “other” Jon Jones that actually holds the Twitter handle “jonjones” is once again blowing up.
A self-described “tech geek, art outsourcing manager, VR producer,” Jon Jones on Twitter that is not an MMA fighter is actually from New York just like the former light heavyweight champion. This one, though, prefers to do his “drag racing” in the video game, “Grand Theft Auto.”
While “Bones” has over a million Twitter followers, Jon Jones the tech geek boasts almost 5,000, many of which he says are “MMA people, including some pro fighters.”
For all your MMA-related Jon Jones news, stick to MMANews.com.
Here’s a sampling of his tweets:
In case anyone wondered, this time it's 95% spectators and 5% dumbs mistweeting at me. That's kinda funny in itself. pic.twitter.com/1d2tKn94yc
UFC is aware that Jon Jones turned himself into the Albuquerque Police Department this morning for a potential probation violation stemming from a traffic stop last week.
UFC has been in touch with Jones’ legal team and will have no further comment until the organization has had appropriate time to gather necessary information.
Jones was ticketed for five different items last week following a stop in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Last year, “Bones” was placed on probation for his role in a hit-and-run incident that sent a pregnant woman to the hospital with a broken arm.
Jones remains on track to face Daniel Cormier next month at UFC 197 for the title.
