Joanna Jedrzejczyk defends strawweight title against Valerie Letourneau at UFC 193

The UFC announced at Friday's "Blah blah" press conference in Las Vegas that strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk will defend her championship against Valerie Letourneau on Nov. 15 in Melbourne, Australia.

That bout will serve as the co-main event to Ronda Rousey's bantamweight title defense against undefeated Holly Holm.

The UFC is holding the card at Eithad Stadium, and hopes to break the company's attendance record of 55,724, set at UFC 129 in Toronto.

Jedrzejczyk (10-0) will look to make her second successful title defense. She finished Carla Esparza at UFC 185 to claim the title, then defended it on June 20 with a third-round finish of Jessica Penne.
