Joanna Jedrzejczyk offers some encouragement to her rival Rose Namajunas after the former champ suffered a recent loss.
Obviously, there is some history between these two former UFC women’s strawweight champions. Despite this, it didn’t stop Jedrzejczyk from being nice to her in the wake of defeat.
Their first fight went down in November 2017 at UFC 217 where Namajunas won with a first-round knockout and their second fight went down at the UFC 223 pay-per-view event in April 2018 that saw Namajunas win by decision.
Jessica Andrade KO’d Namajunas by a slam in the second round to win the UFC women’s strawweight title in the main event of the UFC 237 pay-per-view event. This show took place on Saturday night (May 11, 2019) at Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, Brazil.
Jedrzejczyk took to her official Twitter account where she wrote the following:
“Keep ya head up @rosenamajunas You made it to the special league – League of the #UFCCHAMPIONS it stays 4ever.”

Tonight’s UFC 237 main event will feature Rose Namajunas defending her strawweight championship against #1 contender Jessica Andrade in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and one very interested spectator will be former strawweight champion and a common opponent of the main event participants, Joanna Jedrzejczyk.

As this weekend’s UFC 237 approaches, let’s look back at when Rose Namajunas first defeated Joanna Jedrzejczyk to capture the women’s strawweight title.
This weekend, Namajunas will travel to South America to defend her title against Jéssica Andrade on Saturday at the Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It’s a wholly difficult challenge that ‘Thug Rose’ admitted is a frightening prospect today.
However, Namajunas has faced major challenges and overcame them before. She won the 115-pound title back at UFC 217 when she knocked out former boogey woman Jedrzejczyk in a shocking first-round upset. In anticipation of Namajunas’s second title defense at UFC 237, the promotion released that fight on their Youtube channel.
Namajunas went on to defeat Jedrzeczyk for a second straight time at UFC 223. The second time came via decision. A third fight between these two is unlikely; however, if Andrade pulls off the upset this weekend in Brazil, Jedrzejczyk’s title aspirations will look a whole lot better.
