Tom Taylor of the South China Morning Post<\/a> in her latest interview.<\/p>\n\u201cPeople used to call me violent, savage,\u201d Jedrzjecyzk said. \u201cJorge Masvidal just won the belt \u2013 the baddest motherf***er belt. I want to be the female BMF.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jedrzejczyk ruled the UFC women’s strawweight division from 2015, when she knocked out former champ Carla Esparza to capture the title, until 2017, when she was shockingly knocked out by Rose Namajunas to lose the belt. Since losing her belt, Jedrzejczyk lost the rematch to Namajunas, beat Tecia Torres to get back in the win column, then lost another decision to Valentina Shevchenko at 125lbs. But the win over Waterson got her back into the win column and has re-built her confidence after her losing skid.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese (other) girls can make it, they can win the belt, but there\u2019s nobody like Ronda Rousey, (nobody) like me,\u201d Jedrzejczyk said.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople can doubt me, and they\u2019ll do that forever, but show me a better, cleaner fighter in the UFC or in general. Of course, Amanda Nunes is the GOAT right now, but Ronda Rousey had six successful title defences, me, five. Rose? One title defense. Jessica Andrade couldn\u2019t defend the title.\u201d<\/p>\n
Do you believe Joanna Jedrzejczyk is the female BMF of women’s MMA?<\/p>\n
