UFC Strawweight champion Rose Namajunas shocked the MMA at UFC 217 last November, and at UFC 223 on Saturday night April 7, she proved it was no fluke.
The UFC women’s strawweight champion Namajunas defeated Joanna Jedrzejczyk (14-2) via unanimous decision in a thrilling manner in their title rematch.

While fighting:
J2 has her right glued to her jaw so far, protecting from those lefts Thug killed her with in their first fight. #ufc223

In the last fight one of the biggest things JJ did or didn’t do rather, was move her head. Not a lot of head movement again early on.

You can tell Joanna tried to work her footwork, she moving laterally more than before but she’s tripping over herself #UFC223
