The Fiery Women of MMA, In And Out Of The Cage

The Pint-Sized Fighter

Who says a 115-pound woman can’t dominate in the ring? Joanna Jedrzejczyk may be pint-sized, but this Polish strawweight champion of the world takes down her opponents with devastating speed and precision. She’s also the #1 pound-for-pound female MMA fighter in the world.

She constantly varies between high punches and body shots, while using high front kicks, knees, and elbows to confuse the opponent. UFC president Dana White said, “Her killer instinct is ridiculous.” Because her last name is difficult to pronounce, fans have dubbed her “Joanna Champion” or “Joanna Violence.” We can’t think of more appropriate nicknames than that.
