Speaking to MMAJunkie ahead of the massive rematch on June 11th, Jedrzejczyk stated that she needs to be “a bit smarter” in her return to the octagon.

She said: “I need to be a bit smarter. I’m going to come back. I’m very happy to get my second fight with Weili Zhang and go for the belt right after. The last fight was very close, and the decision could go either way. 

“I felt like I did enough in the first fight. She was the champ at that time, so sometimes you have to do more to beat the champion. But I feel like I gave all I had in Vegas in March 2020, so we’re working on some things. We’re sharpening some tools.
