Speaking at this week’s media day to MMA Junkie, Jedrzejczyk offered some brief thoughts on the new champion, Zhang, and her rise to the top. Jedrzejczyk noted she predicted the Chinese champion would beat Andrade in the first round.

“Yes, I’m very impressed with the new strawweight champ, and I said that she was going to win in the first round with Jessica Andrade,” Jedrzejczyk said. “She’s a very good fighter and in the UFC, maybe the strawweight division is the lightest division in the UFC, but definitely this division gets lots of attention and brings lots of fireworks with every fight.”

Currently, it is being speculated that Jedrzejczyk is expected to miss weight for her fight this weekend. If that is to be the case, there’s also more speculation about whether or not Waterson will accept a late-notice opponent. There have been rumblings of moving “The Karate Hottie” to a November card if Jedrzejczyk does, in fact, miss weight.

However, if Jedrzejczyk is able to make the weight and defeat Waterson, she has been promised a shot at the 115-pound title.

What do you think about Jedrzejczyk’s comments on Zhang?

Joanna Jedrzejczyk’s upcoming fight with Michelle Waterson is still taking place as planned, at least according to the former champion.

Jedrzejczyk meets Waterson in a strawweight headliner at UFC Tampa this Saturday. However, recent reports suggested the fight was in jeopardy as Jedrzejczyk reportedly informed the UFC a couple of days ago that she would unable to make the 116-pound weight limit.

The report added that Waterson was offered the opportunity to fight the Pole at a catchweight, only for it to be declined. This led to speculation that Jedrzejczyk may be replaced with a different opponent.

However, the former strawweight queen provided an update on Wednesday. She also posted a picture of herself smiling as she was cutting weight, seemingly implying that the fight is still on:

“ #staycalm #everythingisfine @oshee_world #ufctampa #fightweek #oshee,” she wrote in an Instagram post.

Jedrzejczyk has never missed weight before, but has notably struggled with the cut to 115 especially when she was the champion. This will also be her first fight in the division since losing her rematch to Rose Namajunas back in April 2018.

Do you think Jedrzejczyk will make the weight? Or will we get a different main event?

Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Michelle Waterson Fight Reportedly In Jeopardy

It looks like this weekend’s UFC Tampa women’s strawweight main event between Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Michelle Waterson is in jeopardy. ESPN has confirmed an initial report by Combate, suggesting Jedrzejczyk informed the UFC several days ago that she will be unable to make the strawweight limit of 116 pounds. The UFC reportedly offered Waterson the opportunity […]

The UFC reportedly offered Waterson the opportunity to fight Jedrzejczyk at an agreed-upon catchweight, however, the Waterson camp declined the offer. If Jedrzejczyk misses weight, and the fight proceeds, the former champ will be forced to pay 30 percent of her purse to Waterson, per the Florida State Boxing Commission.

Another suggestion that was made was for the UFC to pay Jedrzejczyk’s fine since she informed the promotion of her weight struggles in advance. But the UFC has declined that idea as well. There have been talks about replacing Jedrzejczyk with a different opponent, but the UFC is considering canceling the fight altogether, bumping up Kron Gracie vs. Cub Swanson to the main event as a result.

Other options include moving the fight to a November card, or having Waterson fight Jessica Andrade at UFC 244 on November 2. No final decision on the matter has been made as of this writing.

What do you think of the fight between Jedrzejczyk and Waterson possibly falling through?
