Joanna Jedrzejczyk is getting ready to face Jessica Andrade in the 5th defense of her UFC strawweight title. But, while the brawling Brazilian is enough of a challenge to keep anyone’s mind occupied, Jedrzejczyk found her attention recently sidelined by another rising contender. On her way to fighting (and beating) MIchelle Waterson at UFC on FOX 24, Rose Namajunas fell into the sights of Joanna Champion.
In an MMA Hour interview, Jedrzejczyk described meeting Namajunas. She described their interaction as polite and friendly, but then went on to recount how Namajunas told the media that she wanted to beat Joanna and take the belt.
