1) Conor McGregor Is More Than Just Talk

Many fans criticized the UFC for booking Conor McGregor against Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight title given the fact that the Irishman has yet to defend the 145-pound title he won last December. Many have also criticized the “Notorious” one, claiming that he talked his way into another big fight.

When the cage door closed, however, McGregor proved that he was more than just talk.

After dropping “The Underground King” multiple times in the opening round, McGregor finished the job in the second with a brutal combination. It was a dominant performance from McGregor and he made history in the process, becoming the first man in promotional history to hold two titles at one time.

Now we can only fathom at what his next move may be.

Five Reasons UFC 205 Is The Biggest Card Ever

We are now just days away from the landmark UFC 205 event, as the card is set for this Saturday night (Nov. 12, 2016) live on pay-per-view (PPV) from the famed Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. The UFC has stacked the deck from top to bottom with this card, and it’s

The UFC has stacked the deck from top to bottom with this card, and it’s safe to say that it will be a special night for sure. In fact, it has been billed as the biggest card in promotional history.

Let’s take a look at five reasons why it just might be:

The UFC’s New York City Debut

To start things off, UFC 205 will mark the UFC’s inaugural show at Madison Square Garden, an arena that the promotion has attempted to hold an event at for years. With the sport finally being legalized in the Empire State last year, the UFC will finally get to take the sport of mixed martial arts to the one of the most infamous arenas in the history of combat sports, and because of that, the card has an added pop to it.

The UFC has promised fight fans for years that once it was able to enter New York, a blockbuster show would soon follow, and it looks as if the promotion has owned up to it’s promise with one of the greatest cards of all-time.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk Ready To Retire In A ‘Few Years’

Reigning UFC strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk will look to make the fourth defense of her 115-pound title when she meets fellow undefeated Polish fighter Karolina Kowalkiewicz on the main card of this weekend’s (Nov. 12, 2016) UFC 205 from Madison Square Garden in New York. While “Joanna Champion” has seemed to improve each and every

While “Joanna Champion” has seemed to improve each and every time out, she may not be around too much longer as she recently told MMAJunkie that she may be ready to retire in a ‘few years’ and head into motherhood:

“I had the thought in my head a year ago, two years ago I was like, ‘I want to fight two more years,’ and then this year I was like, ‘Maybe I’ll fight to next year or next few years and be done with that. When (I retire) I’m going to be the perfect wife or perfect mother. I want to be the same, (giving) 100 percent. I know I’m not retiring in two months or beginning of the next year because then I will want to come back and have a fight with someone who is important. My goal is to make my dreams come true, my goals come true, and be undefeated. Fight for the next few fights and then see what’s going to happen. That’s my goal.”

Retiring on top and retiring in the prime of the year has always seemed to be a tough thing for a fighter, and it may be tough for the 29-year-old 12-0 champion, but only time will tell.

Would you be surprised to see “Joanna Champion” hang up her gloves in only a few years time?

Joanna: I Might Not Have Big Boobies, But I’m The GOAT

Reigning UFC women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk has established herself as quite a dominant titleholder and she’ll look to defend her strap for the fourth time when she meets fellow undefeated Polish fighter Karolina Kowalkiewicz on the main card of Nov. 12’s UFC 205 from New York City. In today’s fight game, looks and talk

The post Joanna: I Might Not Have Big Boobies, But I’m The GOAT appeared first on LowKick MMA.

In today’s fight game, looks and talk seem to reign supreme, but “Joanna Champion” is more concerned with her legacy rather than having ‘big boobies’:

“I know that I’m not the prettiest one, I’m not having big boobies or I’m not American, but I want people to remember me as the best female fighter, undefeated in MMA, and the UFC champion of the world,” Jedrzejczyk said during Tuesday’s conference call.

“I want to be a legend. I want people to talk about me in five, 10 years, 20 years, that I was one of the best female MMA fighters, that I was one of the best UFC champions in the world back in the day.”

“This is what I want. I just want to retire as an undefeated champion. This is my goal. This is my dream, and I want to make this dream become (real) life.”

This fight will actually be a rematch, as the two fought once as amateurs with Jedrzejczyk winning by way of submission. The champion is obviously planning on coming out on top again, but she’s also focused on giving her country a good show:

“It’s going to be a really beautiful morning for Polish fans. Because in Poland it’s going to be very early, Nov. 13, when we are going to fight in New York. So it’s a big deal. I love my country.”

“Even though I moved to Florida, I’m still Polish. I love my city and I’m doing this for them, so I’m representing my country, even though I must face Karolina Kowalkiewicz.”

Who do you see walking away with 115-pound gold on Nov. 12?

Joanna Jedrzejcyzk Predicts Finish Over Karolina Kowalkiewicz

UFC women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk is looking to make the fourth defense of her 115-pound title when she meets fellow undefeated Polish contender Karolina Kowalkiewicz at November 12’s UFC 205 from the famed Madison Square Garden in New York. While admitting that Kowalkiewicz is a well-rounded fighter, Jedrzejczyk doesn’t seem to be worried, and

While admitting that Kowalkiewicz is a well-rounded fighter, Jedrzejczyk doesn’t seem to be worried, and she doesn’t see the fight lasting until the final bell either:

“She’s taken big steps in her fighting career,” Jedrzejczyk said. “She’s a UFC fighter, she’s gone 3-0 in the UFC so she’s doing pretty well. “She’s very tough physically and mentally. Her cardio is on point so like I said, it’s going to be a really, really good fight.”

“I will mix a little bit of the fight with Jessica Penne and she’s going to get enough punches and kicks to the head. Then I will take a little bit of the fight with Carla Esparza. She will try to take me down because she will have had enough of the punches. Then I will finish her on the ground with a maximum of round three.

“This fight is very big for me. I don’t want to just win; I want to win so badly. Even more than with Claudia Gadelha,” Jedrzejczyk told Submission Radio.

“Joanna Champion” also acknowledged that Kowalkiewicz will likely come in with a solid game plan, although she claims that she’s a ‘different’ type of animal:

“The thing is though, we all have these kind of plans until the first punch. All of my opponents have had some plans, Karolina has some plans for our upcoming fight, but the thing is I’m a different fighter. I’m a really tough fighter on the night of the fight–I’m like the person from the hood. Until the first punch she might have some game plan, but after that not anymore.”

Which Polish combatant do you see walking away with UFC gold next month?
