The best 115-pound fighter in the world, Jedrzejczyk had become a fan favorite simply because when the bell rings on fight night, she goes on a mission of destruction. This year, Jedrzejczyk won the UFC strawweight title with a dominant two-round stoppage of Carla Esparza, and she then successfully defended her title with a punishing TKO of Jessica Penne. It may be too early to tell for sure, but it looks like Joanna Champion may be on top for a while.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Should Donald Cerrone have ranked above Joanna &#8220;Champion&#8221;?
