7 Fights To Make After UFC 248

3. Joanna Jedrzejczyk Vs. Rose Namajunas/Jessica Andrade

There might've been some doubts as to whether or not former UFC strawweight champion, Joanna Jedrzejczyk, was still a world class fighter. Especially after she lost the belt so resoundingly to Rose Namajunas back at UFC 217 and was completely outworked by Valentina Shevchenko when she fought for the women's flyweight title.

However, even despite losing, her performance on Saturday night proved that she was still one of the finest female fighters to ever compete in the Octagon. There are surely plenty of people hoping for a rematch between her and Zhang Weili, but the division is packed with contenders and the division can't be held up.

If Jedrzejczyk is looking to rebuild herself after this title fight, we can think of no two better fighters than Rose Namajunas and Jessica Andrade. Jedrzejczyk has history with both women and they have a highly anticipated rematch at UFC 249 in April.

Whether the winner or loser from this bout is chosen, they'll provide a great scrap for the former champion so she can restart her journey towards the title.
