She claimed to have talked to the former foe, Joanna Jedrzejczyk who does not mind coming out of retirement to fight for this potential throne. People are looking forward to Andrade against Jedrzejczyk fight to crown the new BMF champion.
Andrade said: ‘I asked Joanna Gomes, and she said that if the reason is because of the belt of the BMF, she will return’. “That does sound like a very good fight preview indeed I also have Joanna, also known as Angela Hill, and she’s always ready for war and she never turns back And then, Valentina [Shevchenko] Well, it would have been different if it was Joanna but it would be fantastic however it is.”
Andrade faced Jedrzejczyk for the strawweight belt in 2017 when Andrade rose to the challenge thus starting their first fight encounter. Andrade was defeated by decision although he did not hang in there for a very long time. She fought and won the title two years after, winning the fight against Rose Namajunas.Jedrzejczyk, who was well-known for ruling the strawweight class, was defending her championship against Andrade before to losing to Namjunas in a string of disappointing matches.
Despite the setback, the Polish fighter returned to form in 2018 by defeating Tecia Torres by decision and then Valentina Shevchenko to claim the vacant title. He was advanced to the flyweight division for the challenge, but sadly, he was eliminated by a unanimous vote.
Jedrzejczyk’s last title shot came in 2020, with one of the most memorable matches in MMA history against Zhang Weily. The five-round fight was a split decision loss for Jedrzejczyk, but the fight is considered by many to be one of the greatest in the sport. He retired in 2022 after a knockout loss in his rematch with Zhang, leaving behind a legacy of passionate fights and an indomitable spirit.
Jedrzejczyk’s Possible Return Adds Fuel to Andrade’s Ambitions
Andrade’s goals take on an intriguing new dimension with the potential for Jedrzejczyk to come out of retirement and challenge for the BMF title. Andrade benefits from the Polish fighter’s decision to compete at 125 pounds rather than 115 pounds, his previous weight class. Competing in both weight classes, Andrade demonstrated his comfort level at flyweight to establish his desire in the matchup.
“[Jedrzejczyk] said he would fight at 125, not 115, and that would be even better for me because I feel great in this division as well,” Andrade stated. “I’m not going to get too worked up with losing weight or anything like that. I believe we will perform well and engage in an amazing battle, and I will regain that. As he gets ready for his next battle at UFC Vegas 97, Andrade’s self-assurance and resolve are evident.
