Back in November, in the first of three title fights on the UFC 217 bill, Joanna Jedrzejczyk lost the UFC strawweight title to Rose Namajunas, succumbing to a first-round knockout. While this emphatic loss marked the end of her longstanding title reign, Jedrzejczyk seems to have taken it in stride. In fact, she says her life is better than it was before she lost the title.<\/p>\n
\u201cLife has been great, better than before,\u201d Jedrzejczyk told Jim Edwards of MMANytt<\/a>. \u201cAfter my last fight my life just got better. I have honest people \u2013 I\u2019m surrounded by good and honest people and life is good. I know the value of my life, my family, my friends and the real people around me unlike before.”<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s great,” she continued. “I\u2019ve been training at American Top Team as always with Mike Brown, ‘Katel’ Kublis, Phil Daru my strength and conditioning coach, Dyah Davis my boxing coach, but the whole of ATT is involved in my preparations before my title fight with Rose Namajunas.”<\/p>\n
