Only minutes after Joanna Jedrzejczyk retained her UFC strawweight title with a one-sided third-round stoppage victory over outgunned challenger Jessica Penne at the O2 World Arena in Berlin, Germany, she was asked about who might be next.
She grinned broadly. She's now beaten Nos. 1 (Carla Esparza), 2 (Claudia Gadelha) and 3 (Penne) in the UFC's strawweight division and has clearly stamped herself as the finest 115-pound fighter in the world.
It's not, she pointed out, who she wants next. It's a simpler, more basic question that must be answered.
"Are they ready for me," Jedrzejczyk asked.
