Filed under: Featured , Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos LOS ANGELES – Michelle Waterson would be disappointed if she earned her way to a UFC strawweight championship fight and Joanna Jedrzejczyk was not the one holding the gold. Jedrzejczyk (13-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) is one of the most dominant fighters in the sport and has kept her perfect record intact through seven UFC fights and four title defenses. Waterson (14-4 MMA, 2-0 UFC) could reasonably receive a title shot if she beats Rose Namajunas (5-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC on FOX 24 co-main event – she just hopes the Polish champ doesn’t lose the belt before then. “100 percent, (I would like to be the one to beat her),” Waterson told reporters at a recent UFC on FOX 24 media luncheon. “Because you’re the first.” Related Champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk meets Jessica Andrade at UFC 211 in Dallas Waterson, who meets Namajunas in the FOX-televised co-headliner following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., is unbeaten since joining the UFC roster with submission victories over Paige VanZant and Angela Magana.
