Joanna Jędrzejczyk reveals reason for declining title shot, preferred opponent for UFC return

Joanna Ju0119drzejczyk is inching closer to her return to the Octagon after nearly two years away from competition. And the former strawweight champion expects a rematch against her most recent opponent to be waiting for her.

Ju0119drzejczyk was in action at UFC 248, where she met Zhang Weili for the championship in a ‘Fight of the Year’ candidate. She went on to lose a split decision to Weili, and the Polish star took a break from fighting. Because of her inactivity, Ju0119drzejczyk was eventually removed from the official UFC rankings but insisted she would be back as soon as possible.
