UFC rankings update: Joanna Jedrzejczyk gains little ground

Joanna Jedrzejczyk

Former UFC strawweight champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk picked up a big win in the main event of UFC Tampa last Saturday night, battering Michelle Waterson to a unanimous decision triumph. Unfortunately for Jedrzejczyk, this victory did little to elevate her station in the official UFC rankings.

In the latest rankings update, the Polish star climbed just one spot in the strawweight division.

See these new UFC rankings below, featuring Jedrzejczyk and a few other movers, down below (via MMA Mania):
