“I’m not surprised. I knew that,” she said when told a win would likely mean a title bout (h/t TheMacLife). “I would not sign an agreement for this fight if I didn’t know that I was going to be next after winning. So yeah, I knew that. I’m not surprised. It’s good. I feel like we both deserve [it].”

Joanna Jedrzejczyk has admitted that the end of her UFC career is close. At this point, she only wants the biggest fights and that's exactly what she's getting with Weil Zhang on Saturday.

“Big fights only. She’s one of the best,” Jedrzejczyk said of her opponent. “She made it to the league, she was the champ, we made it. So she’s the best. Even after her two losses, she proved that she’s one of the best, one of the toughest in this division.

“I know there’s lots of talk about other girls, who should get the title shot, but there are girls and then we show up. Me, Weili, Rose, we put on a hell of a fight every time, you know. And this is what this business is about. It’s not about boring fights, it’s not about just fights, it’s about being the best every single time you step in there. That’s the thing.”
