Turning a Puncher into a Punching Bag: The Mastery of Joanna Jedrzejczyk

Related Topics: Jéssica Andrade

In MMA, there are fights, and there are performances. Joanna Jedrzejczyk's fifth title defense may not have been the fight fans were hoping for, but it was a performance to be remembered. Jessica Andrade entered the Octagon having dominated three top-flight strawweights, her strength, power, and aggression making mincemeat of everyone before her. Over the course of five rounds, she showed impressive toughness, ironclad will, and superior conditioning. None of that was enough to take even a single round from Joanna Champion, the strawweight queen, and now quite clearly the greatest female fighter in the history of the sport.
