Joanna Jedrzejczyk: Sweaty hands let on that Valerie Letourneau is 'afraid already'

Joanna Jedrzejczyk thought Valerie Letourneau would be a tough opponent to break when they first faced off.

At the Go Big press conference before UFC 191 in early September, Jedrzejczyk and Letourneau went nose to nose and the UFC women's strawweight champion was impressed.

"After that, I was like, 'F*ck, this chick is tough,'" Jedrzejczyk said Wednesday at UFC 193 open workouts.

But the Polish titleholder sensed a crack in the armor a few weeks later when the two co-headliners were in Melbourne, Australia for a UFC 193 press conference.
