Karolina Kowalkiewicz is a Polish professional mixed martial artist who began competing in the strawweight division of the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship – an American mixed martial arts promotion company that is considered to be the largest of its kind and the most prestigious in the world) in December 2015. In November 2016, she unsuccessfully contested for the UFC Women’s Strawweight Championship. Karolina was defeated, via unanimous decision, by fellow Polish fighter Joanna Jędrzejczyk (widely regarded as the greatest female strawweight mixed martial artist of all time). This was the first defeat of her professional mixed martial arts career, having held a 10-0 overall win-loss record (3-0 in the UFC) until then. Before Karolina strung together this 10-0 streak, she had competed in a solitary bout at the amateur tier – a defeat, in March 2012. Quite incredibly, it was Joanna who had upstaged her in that bout as well. As of August 2023, she had amassed an 8-7 win-loss record in the UFC and won a ‘UFC Bonus Award’ once – ‘Fight of the Night’. Before joining the UFC in December 2015, Karolina had put together a 7-0 win-loss record, competing in promotions such as Extreme Fighting Sports, Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki (Martial Arts Confrontation), and Invicta FC. During this time (May 2012-February 2015), she won the vacant Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki Flyweight Championship once (in June 2013) and successfully defended that title once (in May 2014). She also won the ‘Fight of the Night’ bonus award twice during this timespan – once at Invicta FC (November 2014) and once at Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki (February 2015).
