Top 5 Joanna Jedrzejczyk fights in the UFC

#2. Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Rose Namajunas 2 - UFC 223

UFC 223: Namajunas v Jedrzejczyk

When Joanna Jedrzejczyk’s career is over, there will be no denying that Rose Namajunas was one of her biggest rivals. The two have fought twice in the octagon and both results were significant. Namajunas knocked out Jedrzejczyk in 2017 and at same time ended her reign as strawweight champion. She was a dominant champion, so it was a surprise when she lost in the manner she did.

The rematch was a much closer fight and was a great display of the women’s 155 lb division. It looked like ‘Thug Rose’ was heading towards another TKO win after landing plenty of significant strikes, but ‘The Boogeywoman’ survived. She regrouped and stuck to her kicks which began to take a toll on the champion.

The fight went the distance and the judges scored the bout 49-46 in favor of Namajunas. The unanimous decision win silenced the doubters who may have felt her first win over Jedrzejczyk was a fluke.

#1. Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Zhang Weili – UFC 248

UFC 248 Adesanya v Romero

Jedrzejczyk’s fight with Zhang Weili was one of the greatest women’s fight in UFC history. It was a back-and-forth fight that saw then-strawweight champion Weili earn a split decision and retain her title.

Both fighters maintained a rapid pace for the full 25-minutes, which made it a very entertaining fight to watch. The volume of their strikes kept fans on the edge of their seats. At times it looked like the end was near as they both had successful exchanges that ended with a significant strike. Jedrzejczyk’s face was unrecognizable after the fight due to the number of significant strikes she absorbed.

The bout could’ve gone either way and it was apparent with how the judges scored each round. It was one of those bouts that took a lot out of both competitors. Jedrzejczyk hasn’t fought since the loss, while Weili lost the title to Namajunas as well as the rematch.
