Joanna Jedrzejczyk is back in the win column.

After suffering the first two losses of her professional career at the hands of Rose Namajunas, Jedrzejczyk scored a unanimous decision victory over No. 5-ranked women's strawweight Tecia Torres at UFC Calgary on Saturday night.

The judges awarded Jedrzejczyk scores of 30-27 on all three cards.

The former champion began by stuffing Torres' takedown attempts in the first round and throwing in stiff knees for good measure. The two traded blows in the second round, but Jedrzejczyk used her size and reach advantage to get the better of her 5-foot-1 challenger.

Jedrzejczyk kept Torres at bay in the final round with body shots and kicks to her opponent's front leg.

She improved her overall record to 15-2. Torres has now suffered two consecutive losses to bring her career record to 10-3.
