UFC strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk, who fought and won on the same UFC 205 card at MSG, wants to be given the chance to 'do a McGregor'.
She's already proved herself to be one of the most enduring champions in the UFC with four title defences, second only behind the great Demetrious Johnson (nine) in terms of current champions' title defences.
She's on an incredible 13-fight winning streak after a hard-fought victory over fellow unbeaten Polish fighter Karolina Kowalkiewicz.
The 115 lb champion would want a shot at the UFC's mooted 125lb flyweight division title, if the weight class becomes a fully-fledged division.
‘Sure, it can happen in 2017,’ she told Ariel Helwani on the MMA hour who asked if she had designs on becoming a two-weight champion. ‘I earned that, I deserve that. ‘I feel like I got so much attention from the media, from the international media, from Dana. ‘I put on great fight again and I think that may happen now. I’m very calm about that, I just want to enjoy my fight.’ She added that she intends to talk to Dana White and the UFC to see if they can make it happen next year.McGregor really has lit a fire in the belly of fighters up and down the UFC ranks to go after the legendary fights.
