According to American Top Team owner, Dan Lambert, former UFC strawweight champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk is only interested in title fights and big money fights going forward.
Joanna Jedrzejczyk's last fight was at UFC 248 back in March when she threw down against the reigning strawweight champ Weili Zhang. The pair indulged in a five-round slugfest that will definitely be in consideration for the fight of the year award. At the end of the contest, Zhang retained her title via decision but Joanna's stock rose even in defeat as she came up just short in her quest to reclaim her lost title against the Chinese champion.
The fight between the two UFC strawweights won't be forgotten by fight fans anytime soon and for Lambert, he believes that the cageside judges gave the decision to Zhang for the hematoma on Joanna Jedrzejczyk’s head (Just Scrap Radio on BJPENN.com).
“That is the best female fight of all-time, but it goes above and beyond that. It was just an amazing fight period. A really competitive fight and if you go back and watch it and she didn’t have that swelling in the fifth round, judges were given more credit to the champ because of the damage Joanna was showing. I thought Joanna Jedrzejczyk won that fifth round which was the deciding factor in the fight. I think the UFC is leaning towards giving Rose the next shot so Joanna will sit back and see what happens. I don’t think a lot makes sense besides fighting for the title.”
With Rose Namajunas likely to get the next title shot it is likely we won’t see Joanna Jedrzejczyk fight in the UFC until 2021 at the earliest.
