Joanna Jedrzejczyk has her next challenger.

On the UFC Fight Night 104 postfight show on FOX Sports 1, president Dana White confirmed Jessica Andrade is next in line for a shot at Jedrzejczyk's strawweight championship.

"Absolutely," White said, according to Damon Martin of FOX Sports. "I mean when you see the way she fought tonight, just imagine those two squaring off in there. The absolute war that will be.

"That's gonna be a fun fight."

The 25-year-old Brazilian put on a sensational performance against Angela Hill on Saturday, winning a unanimous decision in a fight that was filled with non-stop action. Andrade is 3-0 since dropping down to 115 pounds, and is already regarded as one of the division's most feared strikers.

Jedrzejczyk last defended her belt at UFC 205 on Nov. 12 at Madison Square Garden, when she won a five-round unanimous decision over fellow Polish star Karolina Kowalkiewicz. It was her fourth consecutive title defense and it improved her career record to 13-0.
