NO COOKIES HERE, JUST A SLAP IN THE FACE!

If you don't know her, you're probably thinking why is she holding the UFC belt in her hands. You would never think this innocent looking scout girl is a natural born killer. Don't get me wrong, she's a great gal. Nice, polite and a true ambassador of the sport. But we see no mercy in the octagon.

LET ME REPRESENT TO YOU, Joanna Jędrzejczyk!

Born August 18, 1987, in Olsztyn, Poland. And surprisingly has a twin sister, and also an older sister. She discovered Muay Tai, early in her teenage years and had a real gift for it. She competed in the 115lbs(52kg) and 125lbs(56kg) weight divisions. Winning 70 matches and all sorts of championships, European and the world championships several times. A process that took long 10years. Let's get to the future :)

After achieving everything in the Muay Tai world, she wanted to retire. But MMA was (metro)boomin at the time :) And a new journey started. But nothing changed, she was still kicking ass. Soon the UFC took notice and sign her up for the 115lbs division. After winning 2 fights, they gave her a title shot, against then current champion Carla Esparza at UFC 185. Joanna told people of MMA community to simply call her "Joanna Champ" because her last name is so hard to pronounce:) Despite the fact, someone else is holding the title. She knew deep in her heart it's just a matter of time.

At UFC 185 she finished Carla Esparza, via TKO in the second round. I had a hard time seeing a woman get beat up on. But that aside, it was a flawless performance by Joanna. To put it in a sentence, the storm beat the crops down. Carla had no chance. First European UFC women champion in the world, Joanna Jędrzejczyk!

A NEW STAR WAS BORN!

After that fight, she goes on a 6 fight winning streak. Still undefeated and unbroken in MMA, and her record is (14W-0L). Holding the title, for more than 2 years now. If the UFC opens the 125lbs division, we can expect her to go up and take that throne as well. Making more history, as time goes by. My intake on it is, that if you're a betting man, bet on her.
