Joanna Jedrzejczyk promises to regain the UFC women’s strawweight title that she once held for a lengthy amount of time. Although she has high goals, she was unsuccessful in her latest outing.

Valentina Shevchenko scored a decision win over Jedrzejczyk to earn win the UFC women’s flyweight title in the UFC 231 co-headliner. This event went down Saturday, December 8, 2018 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Prior to this fight, the former UFC women’s strawweight champion scored a decision win over Tecia Torres in a women’s strawweight bout. This fight went down on the main card of the UFC on FOX 30 event.

Jedrzejczyk made it known that she plans to regain the title once again and had these plans in place for sometime now.

“Before the fight with Valentina I knew that I was going to drop to the strawweight division again. I didn’t want to put on [extra] weight but in the fight, I felt different,” Jedrzejczyk told Eurobash. “I felt that Valentina was very strong in the clinch or on the ground and it took so much time for me to get out and get the fight back on my feet.”

“Now I want to compete in the strawweight division, win this belt and I will do that, mark my words here and now. After that, I will move to the flyweight division,” she said.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk targets a return to the weight class that made her the name that she is known by fans.

Valentina Shevchenko scored a decision win over Jedrzejczyk to earn win the UFC women’s flyweight title in the UFC 231 co-headliner. This event went down Saturday, December 8, 2018 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Prior to this fight, the former UFC women’s strawweight champion scored a decision win over Tecia Torres in a women’s strawweight bout. This fight went down on the main card of the UFC on FOX 30 event.

Now, after competing once at flyweight, she’s looking to make a move back to the division.

“I will go down to 115,” Jedrzejczyk told MMAJunkie. “I need some time to refresh my body, refresh my mind and I feel the fire. People define me as an athlete after my victory or lost fights, but I put on great camps. Before my last camp I was quality over quantity, but I did both. I’ve been working really hard for the last few years and I will be back stronger.”

“This division is the lightest in the UFC but it’s definitely one of the strongest,” Jedrzejczyk said. “I don’t know who is next. … I want to fight for the belt. I might have one fight before but I want to fight for a belt.”

Its been a bit of a rough spell for Jedrzejczyk as of late.

The ex-strawweight queen began her mixed martial arts (MMA) career undefeated. She was looking to be, and was, the most dominant female champion in the entire sport. However, a meeting with Rose Namajunas at UFC 217 changed all that. “Thug Rose” knocked Jedrzejczyk out in the first round of their fight in November of 2017.

After suffering the first defeat of her MMA career, Jedrzejczyk bounced right back into a rematch with Namajunas. The following April at UFC 223, Namajunas again defeated Jedrzejczyk via unanimous decision. After yet another frustrating loss, Jedrzejczyk got back in the win column by defeating Tecia Torres via unanimous decision at UFC on FOX 30 this past summer.

She attempted to win a championship at 125 pounds when she challenged former Muay Thai opponent Valentina Shevchenko for the vacant title at UFC 231 last month.

However, “The Bullet” handed Jedrzejczyk her third career defeat via decision to take home the gold. Now, Jedrzejczyk has a lot of decisions to make before getting back into the cage. It remains to be seen what weight class she’ll decide to stick around at upon her return.
