The reports of Joanna Jedrzejczyk’s demise have been greatly exaggerated.
After much ado about the former strawweight champion potentially struggling to make weight earlier this week, Jedrzejczyk hit the scales at 115.5 pounds on Friday to officially set up her UFC Tampa main event clash with Michelle Waterson. Even mired in a 1-3 slump and with her doubters swirling above like buzzards, Jedrzejczyk remains one of the toughest outs in the division and a test of whether Waterson is truly ready for a shot at a UFC title.
Another veteran looking for redemption is UFC and WEC lifer Cub Swanson.
