The unbeaten Jedrzejczyk has the opportunity to equal Ronda Rousey’s record of six consecutive title defenses against Namajunas, who will have her second crack at the title having lost in the inaugural strawweight title fight against Carla Esparza.
UFC 217 is headlined by the middleweight title clash featuring Michael Bisping vs. Georges St-Pierre, in the long awaited return of the Canadian legend. The co-main event sees bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt finally enter the octagon against former Team Alpha Male member and one time 135-pound champ T.J. Dillashaw.
