Karolina Kowalkiewicz and her career resurgence
Karolina Kowalkiewicz was at one point on a five-fight losing skid with some detractors pontificating on whether or not she should retire from mixed martial arts. A first-round knockout loss to Jessica Andrade at UFC 228 kicked off that downturn period.
Three consecutive unanimous decision losses would follow to Michell Waterson-Gomez, present day-UFC flyweight champion Alexa Grasso, and Xiaonan Yan respectively.
The fifth loss amid this stretch was to Jessica Penne via first-round armbar at UFC 265. Karolina Kowalkiewicz would remarkably turn things around after that August 2021 setback.
The Polish pugilist is now riding a four-fight-winning streak inside the octagon. She got back into the win column with a second-round rear naked choke against Felice Herrig at UFC Fight Night: Volkov vs. Rozenstruik.
The 38-year-old then had back-to-back wins after a UFC 281 win over Silvana Gómez Juárez came by way of a unanimous decision.
The Łódź native then bested Vanessa Demopoulos and Diana Belbiţă, who both also came by way of UD. These 115-pound contests May and October of last year, respectively.
Kowalkiewicz is a former UFC strawweight title contender and her inspirational comeback has now got her back into the rankings at the number 13 spot in that weight category.
