If it's wrong that I want to see Rose Namajunas vs. Joanna Jędrzejczyk 3 then I don't want to be right. That was such a compelling fight. Loved it. #UFC223

By all accounts, Namajunas was very shaken up by the bus incident earlier this week. She was asked to stay at the arena to talk to police but decided to leave and walk back to the hotel. Just wanted to leave. There was fear she wouldn’t fight.
And then she fights like that.
