It appears that Joanna Jedrzejczyk’s dreams of becoming a two-division champion in the UFC will have to wait.
While the Las Vegas-based promotion will introduce a 145-pound women’s division in 2017, UFC President Dana White says there are no other plans to add more weight classes next year. In June, Joanne Calderwood defeated Valerie Letourneau in a bout contested at 125 pounds, leading to speculation that the UFC was moving toward adding a female flyweight division. Shortly thereafter, Jedrzejczyk, the reigning 115-pound queen, expressed a desire to hold a title at 125 pounds as well.
