However, she ended up losing it in her first title defense to Chinese sensation Weili Zhang in the latter’s home country of China. Now that she lost the title, she’s on the road to regaining it and has vowed to become a champion again.
One fight that interests her is Michelle Waterson, who is coming off a defeat to Joanna Jedrzejczyk. Speaking to MMA Fighting, she said:
She expressed her desire to fight again at the end of the year, even if it’s at UFC Busan. She reflected on her loss to Weili Zhang at China and knows what went wrong:
While she admitted the feeling of bitterness when seeing the belt around Zhang’s waist, that hasn’t stopped her from remaining positive. She knows what she has already achieved and her mentors reminded her of the happier times as well - and the fact that nobody can take her achievements away from her.
In her opinion, Zhang vs Joanna is the fight to make for the title and predicted that Zhang would beat the Polish star. She believes that Zhang’s hard kicks and preference to stay on the feet won’t work out well for Joanna stylistically.
