After spending more than two years without acting, Joanna Jedrzejczyk is close to returning to the Ultimate Octagon. Next Saturday (11), the Polish woman tries to take revenge on Weili Zhang on the main card of UFC 275. In an interview with 'MMA Junkie', she states that she intends to provide a 'great show' for the fans and believes that the Chinese performance has already dropped compared to the first confrontation.

"I think she (Weili Zhang) is not the same after our first fight. I know I lost it, but it's not the same anymore. But, without a doubt, she is still one of the most dangerous in the division. It’s going to be a great fight,” said Joanna.
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 52,2 kg) from March 2015 to November 2017. In total, there were five successful title defenses.
Champion of the strawweight division between 2019 and 2020, Zhang was defeated by Rose namajunas in his last two fights. Before the two setbacks for the champion, Weilli's last defeat was in November 2013, in her first fight in professional MMA. The Chinese has a record consisting of 21 positive results and three negative results.
The two fighters even fought one of the best fights in the organization's history. In a real five-round battle, the Chinese came out victorious in the judges' split decision, while the Polish woman dealt with a large swelling on her head. Now, they face each other in a rematch with an eye on a new chance for the strawweight belt (up to 51,2kg).
