NEW YORK CITY — Rose Namajunas will defend her UFC strawweight belt for the very first time on Saturday night. And she will be attempting her first defense against the same woman she took the title from – Joanna Jedrzejczyk.
This 115-pound female bout might be the most anticipated rematch in women’s MMA history. Much of the circumstances that many believe factored in the outcome of the first bout are no longer present in the second.
Jedrzejczyk appeared to have a very good weight cut for this UFC 223 bout, contrary to what she experienced the first time out.
