2. Joanna Jdrzejczyk (c) vs. Valérie Létourneau
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mOrlwCM6Ec Weight Class: Strawweight Otherwise known as Joanna Champion, Joanna Jedrzejczyk is one of the scariest fighters not just in the women's strawweight division, but frankly in the entire UFC. Prime example: welterweight star Matt Brown, who was originally a critic of women fighting in the UFC, has called her the best striker they have. That's pretty high praise from a top ten welterweight star, but that's also how good Joanna Champion is. She's undefeated (100) in her career, and has finished both her title fights. Her opponent, Canada's Valerie Letourneau, failed to make it onto The Ultimate Fighter 18 in 2013, but made it into the promotion anyway. She's 3-0 since joining the UFC, but frankly hasn't fought the same caliber of competition Jedrezejczyk has. This is a case of the other major contenders already having fights, and the original opponent for the champion, Claudia Gadelha, being injured. Jedrzejczyk by TKO in the third.
