“I’ve been speaking to Joanna [Jedrzejczyk] and he or she mentioned she’d come again,” mentioned fellow former champion Jessica Andrade advised MMA Combating. “If it’s for this [BMF] belt, she would come again. I believe that may be an excellent struggle. Joanna, or possibly Angela Hill, who by no means walks away from a struggle and is at all times there preventing everybody. Or Valentina [Shevchenko]. Any of these ladies can be nice, however I believe it could be particular if it’s Joanna. It might be higher.”
The BMF title stands for “baddest motherf**ker” within the recreation. The primary BMF title struggle happened in November 2019, and it has solely come up twice extra since then. Jorge Masvidal defeated Nate Diaz within the inaugural title struggle. Then Justin Gaethje defeated Dustin Poirier, and most just lately Max Holloway defeated Gaethje. There has by no means been a girls’s BMF title struggle.
“[Jedrzejczyk] mentioned she would struggle at 125, not at 115, and that may be even higher for me as a result of I really feel nice on this division as properly,” Andrade mentioned. “I wouldn’t be too affected by the load loss or any of that. I believe we might placed on a present and do an unbelievable struggle, and I’d get that one again.”
Andrade fought Jedrzejczyk in her first shot on the strawweight title in 2017, dropping by way of choice. No feminine UFC athlete has extra wins (17) and finishes (9) within the octagon than Andrade.
