UFC strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk among nominees for top 10 Polish athletes

It's been a hell of a year for UFC strawweight Joanna Jedrzejczyk, who on this date last year was known only for having defeated Juliana Lima by decision at UFC on Fox: Lawler vs. Brown.

Fast forward to Nov. 28, 2015 and Jedrzejczyk has won four fights since, including the UFC strawweight belt and defended it twice. Needless to say, she has invigorated interest in Polish MMA like no fighter before her.

Now, the tiny but terrific fighter has joined some rarified company in a list of 20 of Poland's most famous athletes for the distinction of Sport and Polish Television's (TVP) review of the country's 10 best athletes (link is in Polish).
