She may not get to wear it in the cage, but that hasn’t stopped Samsung from picking up Joanna Champion as the face of their Samsung Gear S2 SmartWatch.
What time is it!? If you’re into advertising, it’s just about time to get kicked in the face by UFC women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk. The face of Polish MMA in the UFC has been working overtime to get her name out to the public since winning the belt. She’s been seen at just about every major UFC event under the sun, she’s been on ESPN, and she runs a mean Twitter account. And it looks like all that work on her end may be starting to pay dividends.
Samsung recently released a new commercial (geared toward the Polish market) featuring Joanna Jedrzejczyk sporting their Gear S2 SmartWatch. She’s showing off the various features of the watch as she goes through a workout session. It’s a good way to kill some time and make a little extra dough for the champ as she waits for the next contender to rise out of the strawweight ranks. The UFC has only booked one strawweight bout in 2016 so far, but the year is young. Until then, fans will have to settle for whetting their appetite here.
