In a sport that includes athletes like Khabib Nurmagomedov, Shamil Abdurahimov, Łukasz Sajewski and mawan amirkhani, the Polish Joanna Jedrzejczyk achieved the feat of standing out due to its incredibly complicated name. However, the jokes especially regarding her surname with 12 letters and nine consonants do not seem to bother the next challenger for the UFC strawweight belt, who responded with good humor and took the opportunity to guarantee that she will win the title in the 52,1 kg category. .

“Mistakes don’t bother me. I know it's a difficult name to say to someone who doesn't speak or speak Polish. But soon you will be able to call me an easier name: Joanna Campeã”, said the Polish, who faces Carla esparza at UFC 185 during a press conference in Los Angeles over the weekend.
Exuding confidence, Jedrzejczyk said he will shake Esparza with his powerful strikes, win the title and take the belt to his countrymen at the event that marks the UFC's debut in Poland, on April 11th. “Before the fight against Claudia Gadelha I said I was number one, and I showed it in the fight. I showed that I was better than her. Now I'm going to do the same with Carla. I have a lot of strength in my hands. You will see, and she will feel. I would like to fight in the Polish event, but it won't be possible. Even so, I will be there with my belt, for everyone to see. I will be an honored guest,” she assured.
At 27, Joanna Jedrzejczyk has an undefeated professional record with eight victories. In her last appearance in the octagon, the Polish woman beat the Brazilian Claudinha gadelha in a fight whose result was quite controversial and accredited her as the first challenger for the strawweight belt. The duel against Carla esparza will take place on March 14th, in Dallas (USA), in the co-main fight of UFC 185.
