Joanna Jedrzejczyk picked up her first strawweight win in 15 months on Saturday, when she decisively defeated Michelle Waterson in the UFC on ESPN+ 19 main event.
Jedrzejczyk (16-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC), the former longtime UFC champion, sent out a stern reminder that she is still a top player at 115 pounds when she got the better of Waterson (17-7 MMA, 5-3 UFC) over the course of five rounds to take a unanimous decision in the headlining contest, which took place at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla., and streamed on ESPN+.
Immediately after the big win, Jedrzejczyk began a push to fight recently crowned strawweight champ Weili Zhang (20-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) – once the foot injury the former champ sustained in the contest heals, of course.
