"I heard that Weili Zhang may not return until late July or August. What I was told was that she was planning to return to fight in March or April and then May or June. The last thing I heard was July or August. I can wait, and I want to wait, but on the other hand, I don't want to wait that long. It's complicated because all the girls in the top 10 already have fights scheduled. But like I said, I'm just looking at the big fights” – said Jedrzejczyk.

In her last appearance, Joanna fought one of the best fights in the history of mixed martial arts against Zhang at UFC 240. The Polish woman was defeated in a split decision by the judges, in addition to a large swelling on her head.

At 33 years old, Jedrzejczyk has a record of 16 triumphs and four setbacks as a mixed martial arts professional. She was strawweight champion (up to 52,1 kg) from March 2015 to November 2017. In total, there were five successful title defenses.
