At UFC 217, Rose Namajunas shocked the world by handing then strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyck her first career loss via knockout in the first round. The former champ has made it known that she deserves a rematch against Namajunas and it looks like she's going to get one. Whether it's against Namajunas (as she could lose her title) or not is up in the air.
"I know what I want in life. Just like I've done for the last two years, the last 14 years of my career, it will be the same next year," Jedrzejczyk told InTheCagePL in her native language. "I back up my words - I don't just talk. I already spoke to the UFC, and my return is set. My next fight will be for the title belt. I don't know if Rose is going to want to fight in a month, in January or in February. I'll spend the next two months in Poland with my family."
"I have a lot of media obligations, and I'll be flying out to China in a few days and that's that, "she added. "This is my time away, my rest. Like I said, if Rose wants to fight in February or March with the first contender available, it doesn't matter to me if she'll be wearing the belt of if there will be a new champion. I'm going after what's mine and that's the belt."
