Reigning strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk may fight on the sport’s biggest stage, but outside of the octagon she prefers to keep things simple

Less than two weeks ago, reigning women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk was co-headlining what could easily wind up as the UFC’s biggest card of the year where she retained her title with a dominating performance against Jessica Andrade at UFC 211.

But now that the lights have dimmed and her next challenger is already eyeing the strawweight queen’s crown, Jedrzejczyk told Sport’s Illustrated that she’s only focused on one thing, and it isn’t money.

“I’m focused on my preparations. My sponsors, people from the media, they know when I’m in the camp I’m just focused on preparations,” said Jedrzejczyk. “I prefer to make less money, I prefer to have smaller sponsors, less obligations. But at the end of the day, I want to defend my title. I wish that all of the fighters they were focused like me. I’m not the best, but I know what is important, what is good, what is better for me.”

While Conor McGregor probably wouldn’t approve of Jedrzejczyk’s approach, it’s definitely worked for the woman who is often referred to as “Joanna Champion.” Including her recent win over Andrade, Jedrzejczyk has successfully defended her title on five separate occasions since taking the belt from Carla Esparza in March 2015.

Obviously, Jedrzejczyk isn’t the type to forget her roots, or how much work it took to become a UFC champion. But she knows from experience that it can be even harder to stay at the top of the strawweight division.

“It was not easy to become a UFC fighter and a UFC champion, but I think it’s more difficult to keep defending the belt because all eyes are on me,” said Jedrzejcyk. “My opponents, the coaches of my opponents, have more time to prepare for the fight with me. It’s pretty difficult, but I like it. I like to challenge myself every day and I like to keep on proving to all of them that there is only one strawweight champion of the world.”

Expected to face Rose Namajunas later this year, Jedrzejczyk’s next victory will equal Ronda Rousey’s UFC record of six straight title defenses.
