#4. Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Claudia Gadelha 2 – The Ultimate Fighter 23 Finale
During her reign as UFC strawweight champion, Joanna Jedrzejczyk became a lot more popular with the fanbase. As a result, she became a coach on TUF season 23 opposite Claudia Gadelha.
Jedrzejczyk and Gadelha got the opportunity to settle their differences when they fought on TUF 23 finale. It was a rematch of their 2014 encounter, which saw ‘The Boogeywoman’ earn a split-decision win. The rematch lived up to the hype and was a back-and-forth fight similar to their first encounter.
‘Claudinha’ got the better of the champion in the first and second rounds. She dropped her in the first-round and then used her grappling to take her down in the second-round. The momentum completely shifted in the third-round as Jedrzejczyk connected with her front-kicks and combinations, which took a toll on the challenger. She took over the fight from there and was awarded the unanimous decision. Both fighters also earned a Fight of the Night bonus as well.
#3. Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Jessica Penne – UFC Fight Night 69
Jedrzejczyk’s first title defense against Jessica Penne was one of her most impressive performances in the UFC. The champion put her world-class striking on full display and bloodied the challenger.
‘The Boogeywoman’ overwhelmed Penne with vicious combinations that included a front-kick to the face and elbows in the clinch. The volume of strikes and the incredible pace that she maintained was a sight to behold. Penne had no answer for the champion and had a difficult time dealing with the pressure.
From that moment, the challenger’s best chance at winning was taking the champion down and submitting her. She was unable to do so and paid the price with every failed takedown attempt. Jedrzejczyk took advantage of Penne against the fence. She landed a stiff jab, a right-cross and a knee strike to earn a TKO win and a Fight of the Night bonus.
