Strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk has insisted she should be given the chance to do what Conor McGregor did at UFC 205 and become a two-weight title holder.

McGregor made history in New York as he beat Eddie Alvarez to become the first UFC champion to hold two belts at the same time while Jedrzejczyk conducted the fourth successful defence of her title.

A confident victory over Karolina Kowalkiewicz helped stoke the crowd for McGregor’s big moment and the Polish fighter believes after her latest display she should be given a shot at the bantamweight title.

‘Sure, it can happen in 2017,’ she told MMA hour when asked if she had her eye on becoming a two-weight champion.




‘I earned that, I deserve that.

‘I feel like I got so much attention from the media, from the international media, from Dana (White).

‘I put on great fight again and I think that may happen now.

‘I’m very calm about that, I just want to enjoy my fight.’

She added: ‘I’ll talk to Dana and the UFC and see what they want to do.’

Jedrzejczyk is undefeated in MMA and in the octagon and is the only UFC champion to be reigning as such.
