Joanna Jedrzejczyk vows to become women’s MMA GOAT, return to strawweight in 2019

TORONTO — For Joanna Jedrzejczyk, becoming the first female fighter to win UFC titles in two divisions is all the validation she needs to establish where she stands in the annals of MMA history.

At a press conference Wednesday at the Winter Garden Theatre, Jedrzejczyk and UFC 231 opponent Valentina Shevchenko were on hand to talk about the circumstances surrounding Saturday’s fight and Jedrzejczyk was confident that adding the vacant women’s flyweight championship to the strawweight belt that she successfully defended five consecutive times from 2015-2017 will cement her as the greatest female fighter of all time.
