Excited by the return of the public to the arenas, Joanna Jedrzejczyk is already rehearsing a return to MMA. Since he last played, in March 2020, the panorama of the strawweight division (up to 52,1kg) has changed with the emergence of other promises in Ultimate. One of them, in fact, is Marina Rodriguez, who won Michelle Waterson in the main fight of UFC Las Vegas 26. The Polish, however, states that she has no interest in facing the Brazilian next.

"I am not interested. I didn't (I saw the fight of Marina Rodriguez) and I can't say much. But I'm happy for her. I know the Michelle Waterson and I like her, even though we clashed. But, you know, I'm just happy for Rodriguez, but I'm not planning on (confronting her). I'm focused on my objectives, my goals”, stated Jedrzejczyk in an interview with the website: 'BJPenn.com'.
In addition to having already been defeated by Weili Zhang e Rose namajunas, the Polish woman also spoke about the combat in UFC 260. In fact, she said that she was not impressed with the result and was already betting on the North American winning before the duel even took place.
“I knew the result and I said so. There was a TV crew filming me live for the UFC Watch along. They have this video before entering the Octagon. I said, 'Look at Rose. He'll knock you out in the first round'. And it happened, man. I'm very happy for her. It was a great achievement”, concluded the fighter.
At 33, Joanna Jedrzejczyk has a record of 16 triumphs and four setbacks. She was strawweight champion (up to 52,2 kg) from March 2015 to November 2017. In total, there were five successful title defenses.
