Joanna Jędrzejczyk Asked for Karolina Kowalkiewicz at UFC 205 (video)

Women's strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk puts her title on the line at UFC 205 against fellow Poland native Karolina Kowalkiewicz in a fight that she requested.

Jedrzejczyk (12-0) has quickly become one of the most popular fighters in the UFC, having defeated all six of her opponents in the Octagon. She has defended the 115-pound title three times, and doesn't show any signs of slowing down heading into this fight in New York.

Kowalkiewicz, also undefeated at 10-0, forced her way into the title picture just three fights into her UFC tenure. She is coming off of a victory over former title contender Rose Namajunas in her last fight. She'd also like to avenge a loss to Jedrzejczyk when the two were amateur fighters just beginning their careers in Poland.
