With a possible title fight against dominant champ Joanna Jedrzekczyk waiting in the wings, top strawweight Rose Namajunas squared off with undefeated Karolina Kowalkiewicz in the co-main event of last night’s (Sat., July 30, 2016) UFC 201 from the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
‘Thug’ Rose came out moving well and landing crisp punches, but Kowalkiewicz’s Muay Thai skills soon came into play in a big way when she opened up with some huge knees to the bodies and elbows that badly gassed Namajunas in the later two rounds.
Despite repeated attempts at a submission in the third, Kowalkiewicz showed excellent jiu-jitsu defense in outlasting Namajunas in a somewhat questionable split decision. Watch the full fight video highlights of Kowalkiewicz’s upset win here:
