The Octagon invades Florida for tonight’s UFC Tampa event, a fourteen-bout fight card headlined by Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Michelle Waterson.<\/p>\n
The winner of tonight’s headliner will likely be next in line for a shot at Weili Zhang’s UFC strawweight title.<\/p>\n
Joanna Jedrzejczyk (15-3 MMA) was most recently seen in action at December’s UFC 231 event where she suffered a unanimous decision loss to Valentina Shevchenko<\/a> in a fight for the promotions flyweight title.<\/p>\n The Polish star has gone just 1-3 over her past four Octagon<\/a> appearances, with her lone win in that time coming against Tecia Torres by decision.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Michelle Waterson (17-6 MMA) will enter UFC Tampa on a three-fight win streak. In her latest effort at March’s UFC event in Philadelphia, ‘The Karate Hottie’ scored a unanimous decision victory over former division title challenger Karolina Kowalkiewicz.<\/p>\n In tonight’s UFC Tampa co-headliner, featherweights Cub Swanson and Kron Gracie will collide in hopes of moving up the 145-pound ladder.<\/p>\n Cub Swanson (25-11 MMA) will enter UFC Tampa in desperate need of a win, this after losing his last four fights.<\/p>\n During his recent rough stretch ‘Killer Cub’ has suffered losses to Brian Ortega, Frankie Edgar, Renato Moicano and Shane Burgos respectively.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Kron Gracie (5-0 MMA) made is his promotional debut this past February in Phoenix, where he scored a first round submission victory over Alex Caceres.<\/p>\n UFC Tampa Main Card on ESPN+ (8pm ET)<\/p>\n Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Michelle Waterson – Jedrzejczyk def.
