With as many fights as there are toward the end of this year, it’s hard to keep track of all of them. Even on UFC 217 alone, a card full of great fights are buried under three incredible title fights. Despite sharing the spotlight with names like Michael Bisping, Georges St-Pierre, Cody Garbrandt and TJ Dillashaw, Joanna Jedrzejczyk still shines. One by one they’ve all come and they’ve all come up short. Jedrzejczyk is one of the most dominant champs in the sport, yet even she still has detractors. The UFC strawweight title holder says that Rose Namjunas challenging her will not be any different than the rest of the women who have failed.<\/p>\n
\n“Everyone before the fight \u2014 you know how many comments and messages I receive saying ‘Hey Rose [Namajunas] is going to submit you, Rose is going to beat you up’? I’m like, text me or send me a message or comment on my victory picture after my fight, and we will see who is right.\u00a0Anything can happen in the fight, I’ll always say that. One punch, one submission, one blink can finish the fight, but I always make sure I’m ready and I don’t watch so many fights. I focus on what I can do better. How can I escape from them because I know they are coming for my belt, my goals, my dreams. This is my life, so I must make sure that I surprise them. I don’t worry about how they’re going to surprise me — I always surprise them. Believe me, I will surprise her in this fight.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
