Joanna Jedrzejczyk blew the
UFC women’s strawweight di-
vision wide open at UFC 185
when she came through on
her promise to become “Joan-
na Champion” — and now the
question becomes, who will be
next for a title shot?
Carla Esparza looked like she
could be a dominant cham-
pion, but Jedrzejczyk quickly
proved otherwise, picking her
apart with fantastic striking.
The kickboxing champion also
showed impressive takedown
defense, a key to overcoming
the top wrestler in the division.
In dismantling Esparza, Jedrze-
jczyk shot to the top of the
mountain and was instantly
thrust into the spotlight, be-
coming a hot name in the
MMA community and a celeb-
rity in her native Poland virtu-
ally overnight. She will need
another win or two to really
Who’s Next For Joanna
Champion?
