5 UFC fighters who could soon become two-weight world champions

#4 Joanna Jedrzejczyk

After losing her Strawweight title in one of the biggest upsets in UFC history, Joanna Jedrzejczyk parted ways with her nutritionists, whom she blamed for having to lose 16 pounds in 14 hours. She believes it weakened her to the point that it cost her the belt.

This isn't the first time we've seen JJ put herself through purgatory to make 115 lbs. In fact, she stated that she will move up to 125 lbs if the UFC creates a Flyweight division and claim that belt. It's no longer an "if", now that there is a Women's Flyweight division, a champion and a number one contender too. And did we forget, that contender, Valentina Shevchenko, has beaten Joanna in three Muay Thai contests?

But Joanna will first seek revenge against Rose Namajunas at UFC 223 and if she manages to wrest the crown, it could very well set up a trilogy. But hopefully, Joanna sates herself with the win and doesn't put herself through another hellacious weight-cut, instead choosing to challenge for the 125 lbs belt.

And if Valentina Shevchenko tops Nicco, a mouth-watering rematch in the octagon is a given. We've seen how JJ buzzsaws through opponents in a diminished state at 115 lbs, now imagine what she's capable of at 125 lbs. And considering that the three losses to Shevchenko were what motivated JJ to become a UFC champion, we don't need to hear her say the words to know what she's thinking.
