CALGARY – Joanna Jedrzejczyk does not intend to leave the UFC division until she has another opportunity to put the belt around her waist.
After the consecutive losses of the champion Rose Namajunas, Jedrzejczyk (15-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) has made it clear that she wants a trilogy. She made a promising leap towards that with a unanimous decision victory over Tecia Torres on Saturday at the UFC on Fox 30.
Namajunas (7-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) said that "I'm going to be a good guy." she would not consider fighting Jedrzejczyk, that she hit In November, UFC 227 awarded a victory to UFC 223, until the ex-champion Polish publicly acknowledges that she is the best competitor.

"I will not do that," Jedrzejczyk told reporters, including MMAjunkie, at the UFC's post-event press conference on FOX 30. "Never again, she wants my honor? If she's going to run, they're going to make an interim belt, she said she was afraid that Conor McGregor would show up again and do some damage like he did before Brooklyn. Do not do that, do not be afraid, Rose, come on, just fight, just face the best. "
After a reign of almost three years as a 115-pound champion, Jedrzejczyk participated in his first Untitled fight since December 2014 when she faced Torres (10-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC). It was a convincing victory for Jedrzejczyk, with 30-27 points in the entire FOX TV contest at Scotiabank Saddledome of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
There has been no case where a fighter has lost two title fights the same opponent and the UFC has reserved a third contest. Jedrzejczyk believes that she should be the exception because of her resume and her long reign at the top of the division.

"Rose saying she's going to give me the third fight after I'll say she's the best? No question", has said Jedrzejczyk. "Maybe you beat me, and you're the champion, and you won, but your inheritance is not so great, you should bow down because I'm the queen." of respect. "
Whether it be Jedrzejczyk or someone else in the division, it does not appear that Namajunas is fit to fight anybody at this time. The champion is apparently struggling with an injury that will probably prevent her from staying for the rest of the year.
Jedrzejczyk has some questions about the legitimacy of Namajunas's injury. She theorizes that Namajunas is doing everything she can to avoid a fight against her and says that if she stays too long, the UFC should do an interim belt.
"What I hear, it is that she n & # 39; Is not really hurt, "said Jedrzejczyk. "Maybe she's there, I do not know, maybe she's hurt, so I'm sorry, I give her credit, she's the champion." she is hurt, okay .. But if she just plays, and that she just wants a vacation, let the UFC know it. "I want a vacation, I want to take a break." Leave the UFC make an interim belt, and we fight for the belt. "
Whatever the situation, Jedrzejczyk is absolutely determined to regain the title that she held long. She conquered all comers in her weight class outside of one person, and basically she believes that she is superior to Namajunas. "I'm going to chase you," said Jedrzejczyk. "I'm going to chase the belt, I'll chase you to the next fight … I'll become a champion again."
