Joanna Jedrzejczyk is ready to return to the Octagon following a near two-year absence and she needs an opponent. Jedrzejczyk is not without options though as she could find herself either vying for the strawweight championship again or in a No. 1 contender fight, both of which would be against women she has previously fought.
Jedrzejczyk prefers a third fight with Rose Namajunas but welcomes rematches against Carla Esparza and Zhang Weili as well. In an interview with Tom Taylor of South China Morning Post, the former champion said that while she has her sights set on Namajunas now, she understands that ‘Thug’ could take some time away after her split decision win over Weili at UFC 268 earlier this month.
