Former strawweight champion Joanna Jędrzejczyk decided to make an unusual request to Ultimate. The Polish, who is close to a fight to try to regain her title, asked for the symbolic title of 'Toughest in MMA', created for the duel between Jorge masvidal and Nate Daiz, in the women's group. The idea was to hold a super fight against the legendary Ronda Rousey, the first woman to wear the Ultimate belt. The statement was made to the 'South China Mornig Post'.

“These other girls can win the belt, but there is no one like Ronda Rousey and me. People can doubt me and they always will, but show me a better, cleaner fighter than me in the UFC or other organizations. Of course the Amanda nunes (bantamweight and featherweight champion) is the best in the world now, but Ronda has had six successful title defenses. I had five. But what about Rose namajunas? Only one. Jessica Pile Driver he couldn’t defend the belt,” said the Polish woman.
Joanna, who was once known as one of the most feared athletes in the organization, is characterized by aggressiveness and a different model of promoting fights. With a reputation for intimidation, the Polish woman, according to herself, would deserve the belt.
“People used to call me “violent”, “savage”. Jorge masvidal I just won this belt, and I want to take this title of 'Toughest Fighter', concluded the athlete.
To achieve his dream, Jędrzejczyk must, first of all, convince Ronda Rousey to return to MMA, a sport she abandoned almost three years ago, when she was severely beaten by Amanda nunes in an attempt to regain the number one spot.
In addition to the separation, another complicating factor is the fact that the American has achieved an extremely financially productive career in WWE (wrestling). Today, taking a risk of this proportion may not make sense for the former champion, who is already financially stable.
First of all, Joanna's focus should be on trying to regain her straw belt, lost to Rose namajunas in 2017. The athlete recently beat, with property, Michelle Waterson and qualified to face the current champion, Weili Zhang. The athletes have even been exchanging barbs on social media.
