Jelena Mrdjenovich plans to fight Olga Heron (again) in a non-title fight on September 1, but the WBC says Mrdjenovich's next bout is to be a mandatory defense of her super featherweight title against top-ranked Chevelle Hallback.

In my opinion, Team Mrdjenovich continues to use excuses to avoid the best fighters.

Do you know for sure that it isn't Chevelle who is unavailable?

Team Mrdjenovich challenging Laila Ali?

This story gets more bizarre by the minute.

Mrdjenovich didn't get the expected celebrity status from her "4 out of 10" performance against Mia St. John, so these stories are designed to resurrect the hype.

If Team Medjenovich wants to fight Laila Ali, they should first try someone in a closer weight class such as Jessica Rakoczy, Eliza Olson, Holly Holm, Missy Fiorentino, or Layla McCarter. One of these fighters will be willing to fight her.
