Joanna Jedrzejczyk has faced many hard punchers in her UFC career including champions like Jessica Andrade and Valentina Shevchenko. The former strawweight champion actually had quite the surprising answer for who hit her the hardest.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk recently revealed who hits the hardest between Rose Namajunas and Weili Zhang. The former UFC champion also revealed who the hardest puncher was and it wasn't either woman.

“I think Rose,” Jedrzejczyk said on the “Punchin’ In” podcast when asked who hits harder between Namajunas and Zhang. “The first one (fight with Namajunas), I don’t remember. I didn’t feel the power. I just went to sleep, but there were some things that happened before the fight. In the second fight, I felt she was hitting pretty hard, but you know who hit the hardest? Valerie Letourneau. She was the hardest puncher I have ever fought … so Valerie and then Rose.

She continued, “For so many years they, were only talking about (Namajunas’) grappling, how good she is on the ground, but I think her striking is top level. Very precise, good timing and very, very strong.”

Joanna Jedrzejczyk was also asked about her plans for the UFC and when she wants to return. It appears like the focus is only on the biggest fights possible.

“I can’t complain; all the girls (ranked) from 1-10 are booked,” Jedrzejczyk said. “So I can’t complain because it was my decision to not fight for such a long time, so I’m just training and waiting, and I think we’re just going to get the big fights. That’s it.”
