Polish UFC strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk will officially seek her fifth title defense against Jessica Andrade on May 13 in Dallas.
Jedrzejczyk confirmed the 115-pound championship bout on Thursday. It will take place at UFC 211 inside American Airlines Center.
Earlier this month, Jedrzejczyk (13-0) posted a video online dismissing reports of her fighting at UFC 211 as a "rumor." Sources confirmed to ESPN.com, however, that the promotion had targeted the date. On Thursday, it became official.
For Jedrzejczyk, 29, it will mark another opportunity to defend her title and stake a claim as best pound-for-pound female fighter on the planet. Now training out of Coconut Creek, Florida, Jedrzejczyk has been dominant since signing with the UFC in 2014. She is 7-0 inside the Octagon, with three knockouts.
Andrade (16-5) is a perfect 3-0 since dropping to the 115-pound division last year. She is coming off a decision win over Angela Hill in February.
ESPN.com ranks Jedrzejczyk the No. 2 pound-for-pound female fighter in the world, behind only Cris "Cyborg" Justino. Andrade is ranked No. 7.
A heavyweight title fight between Stipe Miocic (16-2) and Junior dos Santos (18-4) is scheduled to headline the UFC pay-per-view event.
