Joanna Jedrzejczyk kept dishing out the punishment, but Jessica Penne did an admirable job of hanging around for as long as she possibly could.
The strawweights each earned a $50,000 “Fight of the Night” bonus for their work in Saturday’s headliner at O2 World in Berlin, a bout which Jedrzejczyk won via technical knockout in the third frame. The Polish star retained her 115-pound strap by battering Penne with wicked combinations throughout their UFC Fight Night contest.
