Crashing the Party

Some women fear the fire, some women become it” – Social media poet, r.h. Sin.

So, the ladies.

On April 7, Rose Namajunas will defend the women’s strawweight title against the person she took it away from, Joanna Jedrzejczyk. It’s a big enough fight to be the co-main event of a major pay-per-view card in Brooklyn. It comes exactly a month and four days after Cris Cyborg defended the women’s featherweight title against Yana Kunitskaya as the headliner of UFC 222, and a month and five days before Amanda Nunes will defend her bantamweight title in a main event at UFC 224 against Raquel Pennington in Rio de Janeiro.
