Joanna Jędrzejczyk would come out of retirement for 'BMF' fight

Former women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk announced her retirement following her UFC 275 knockout loss to current titleholder Zhang Weili in June 2022.  Happy in retirement, there is a scenario that would lure Jedrzejczyk back to the octagon.  

Fellow former strawweight titleholder Jessica Andrade would like a rematch against Jedrzejczyk and Jedrzejczyk would be open to it if the “BMF” belt is on the line.  

“I’ve been talking to Joanna and she said she’d come back,” Jessica Andrade told MMAFighting. “If it’s for this [BMF] belt, she would come back. I think that would be a good fight. Joanna, or maybe Angela Hill, who never walks away from a fight and is always there fighting everyone. Or Valentina [Shevchenko]. Any of those girls would be great, but I think it would be special if it’s Joanna. It would be better.”

“[Jedrzejczyk] said she would fight at 125, not at 115, and that would be even better for me because I feel great in this division as well,” Andrade continued.  “I wouldn’t be too affected by the weight loss or any of that. I think we would put on a show and do an incredible fight, and I would get that one back.”

Jędrzejczyk held the women’s 115-pound title from March 2015 until November 2017.  Andrade last fought at UFC 300 in April, defeating Marina Rodriguez via split decision.
