Women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk puts her title on the line at UFC 205 against fellow Poland native Karolina Kowalkiewicz in a fight that she requested.
Jedrzejczyk (12-0) has quickly become one of the most popular fighters in the UFC, having defeated all six of her opponents in the Octagon. She has defended the 115-pound title three times, and doesn’t show any signs of slowing down heading into this fight in New York.

Kowalkiewicz, also undefeated at 10-0, forced her way into the title picture just three fights into her UFC tenure. She is coming off of a victory over former title contender Rose Namajunas in her last fight. She’d also like to avenge a loss to Jedrzejczyk when the two were amateur fighters just beginning their careers in Poland.
