Joanna Jedrzejczyk still refuses to call Rose Namajunas the ‘best’ strawweight

Joanna Jedrzejczyk believes UFC strawweight champion Rose Namajunas should “bow down” to her, “because I’m the queen.”

Former titleholder Jedrzejczyk, who reigned over the division from March 2015 to November 2017, lost the belt via first-round knockout to Namajunas at UFC 217 in a shocking upset. She looked to recapture UFC gold in an immediate rematch earlier this year, but fell via narrow decision.

Still, Jedrzejczyk refuses to call Namajunas the best strawweight — even though Namajunas has said in the past that she’ll only grant the Poland native a trilogy bout if she accepts the fact that “Thug” Rose is the queen at 115 pounds.
