Filed under: News , UFC Appreciate Joanna Jedrzejczyk now – because the reigning UFC strawweight champion might not be active in the sport for much longer. Jedrzejczyk (12-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) isn’t planning on retiring tomorrow, nor is she going to make an immediate exit from the sport following Saturday’s UFC 205 title defense against Karolina Kowalkiewicz (10-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC), which takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York City and airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. What she is planning, though, is to go down as one of the greatest fighters in UFC history, and defending her 115-pound title several more times to complete her ambitious plan of retiring from MMA with the belt and an undefeated professional record . If Jedrzejczyk can do that and remain healthy in the process, she said she’d be content with her MMA accomplishments, and then she could move on to the next stage of life, which she hopes includes marriage and children. “I had the thought in my head a year ago, two years ago I was like, ‘I want to fight two more years,’ and then this year I was like, ‘Maybe I’ll fight to next year or next few years and be done with that,’” Jedrzejczyk told MMAjunkie.
