Joanna Jedrzejczyk set a UFC title record record today eight years ago.
Long before her rival Zhang Weili came, the UFC Hall of Famer confirmed itself as the greatest stream weight of all time with six consecutive title fights.
Jedrzejczyk van Polen went undefeated for five years and defended her belt twice a year after the elimination of inaugural champion Carla Esparza in 2015.
Win of Lose, Jedrzejczyk consistently fought the best in the world of Rose Namajunas and Zhang Weili (both twice) to pound Queen-Pond Queen Valentina Shevchenko above.
In the prime of her career, a 29-year-old Jedrzejczyk won her last title fight against one of the scariest finishers who have ever seen the women's divisions, a future champion in Jessica Andrade.
