The UFC’s strawweight division might be the smallest, but it packs quite the punch over the decade led by Joanna Jedrzejczyk.
Jedrzejczyk won the belt in 2015 and held it for nearly 1,000 days, earning five title defenses during that time.
It all started with Carla Esparza, who finished out The Ultimate Fighter 20 with the title after besting Rose Namajunas.
Of course, Namajunas would return and win it three years later.
Over the past year, both Jessica Andrade and Zhang Weili have climbed to the top of the mountain and claimed the belt, with Weili the current champion.

Zhang Weili
In her home country of China on August 31, 2019, Zhang Weili shocked Jessica Andrade, ending her reign after just 112 days and claiming the title.
Weili was a force on that night, delighting the Shenzhen crowd with her performance.
She went on to defend the title against former champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk at UFC 248 in March of this year. Weili has held the title for over 220 days.
