Joanna Ju0119drzejczyk has predicted the rematch between Rose Namajunas and Carla Esparza before, expecting ‘Thug’ to avenge a loss to and defend her strawweight championship against the ‘Cookie Monster.’
But exactly how does Namajunas defeat Esparza at UFC 274 on Saturday night? Ju0119drzejczyk can envision several different scenarios, but they all have the same outcome: a first-round finish. Because of how much she improved since their first fight at The Ultimate Fighter 20 finale over seven years ago, ‘JJ’ does not doubt that this new version of Namajunas has Esparza beat everywhere.
“I don’t like predictions but I think Rose Namajunas first-round finish,” said Ju0119drzejczyk (h/t Damon Martin of MMA Fighting).
