After this past weekend, with Joanna Jedrzejczyk defending her title for the third time in a rematch against #1 Contender Claudia Gadelha, we can come to two conclusions. Joanna is the unquestionably the best Strawweight in the world, and Claudia is #2.

Now that Jedrzejczyk and Gadelha have fought for a second time, with the same woman getting her hand raised in both contests, the UFC will be looking for the next contender. Since the #2 Contender is ex-champ Carla Esparza, who was dominated by the Champion 2 fights ago, UFC matchmakers will most likely be looking a bit further down the rankings for the next challenger. Here is how the rest of the list shapes up.

Rose Namajunas

Perhaps the favorite to challenge for the title next, Namajunas is on a 3 fight winning streak since challenging Esparza for the inaugural Strawweight title. She has 2 straight wins over Top 10 opponents Paige VanZant and Tecia Torres, and looks to solidify her place at the very top of the division when she takes on undefeated Karolina Kowalkiewicz at UFC 201 at the end of the month. She has talked in the past about not rushing to challenge for the title, but in a division that lacks depth, she may be the one getting the call if she comes out on top in Atlanta.

Tecia Torres

Although Torres is coming off a loss to Namajunas at UFC on Fox 19 in April, she still finds herself in the Top 5 of the division. Prior to the decision loss, she was 7-0 with wins over current Top 10 contenders over the course of her career. Although she is a formidable challenge for most anyone in the division, it will be tough to sell her as a legitimate title challenger unless she can get back on the horse and string a few wins together. She doesn’t have a fight scheduled at the moment, so we will have to wait and see how Torres responds.

Karolina Kowalkiewicz

The other half of the UFC 201 Co-Main Event, Kowalkiewicz looks to push her undefeated MMA record to 8-0 when she takes on Namajunas. Like the strawweight champion, Kowalkiewicz is a Poland native who started her career as a professional Muay Thai fighter, where she was undefeated, before transitioning to MMA. Before coming to the UFC, she was the KSW Flyweight Champion in her native Poland, so she has experience fighting larger women than her Strawweight peers. Still, her fight with Namajunas is surely the biggest of her career. A win could guarantee the UFC a very marketable Poland v. Poland title bout (perhaps at MSG, where Jedrzejczyk wants to fight next), while a loss would be the first setback of her professional fighting career.

Joanne Calderwood

After a TKO victory over former title challenger Valerie Letourneau, Calderwood is one of the hot commodities in the division. Hailing from the mean streets of Glasgow, Calderwood has made a name for herself with exciting fights, recording stoppages in 5 of her 11 career victories. While she was submitted by Namajunas during TUF 20, she has rebounded, and now looks to be finding her groove in the UFC. With another win or two, Calderwood could put herself in line for a title shot sometime in the future.

While there are other formidable contenders in the division, (most notably the #6 contender Jessica Andrade, who made easy work of Jessica Penne at UFC 199) these 4 women seem to be the names on fans lips, and all have reasonable claims to be one of the women to challenge for the title within the next calendar year.
