Joanna Jedrzejczyk didn’t beat Rose Namajunas at UFC 223, falling by unanimous decision last month in Brooklyn. And that’s OK for her. Jedrzejczyk believes in her heart that she won and, most importantly, she showed something to herself.
“It was about myself,” Jedrzejczyk told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour. “It was about proving to myself that I’m still simply the best, that I’m still one of the greatest female fighters in the world. That’s the thing.”
Namajunas beat Jedrzejczyk by first-round knockout at UFC 217 last November to win the strawweight title.
