Tomorrow night (Sat. November 4, 2017) UFC strawweight champion Joanna J?drzejczyk will attempt to make her sixth consecutive title defense when she takes on 25-year-old challenger Rose Namajunas.

J?drzejczyk is undefeated in her mixed martial arts (MMA) career and has won 14-straight fights, finishing four via knockout. J?drzejczyk has downed the elite of the division in names such as Carla Esparza, Jessica Penne, Claudia Gadelha, Karolina Kowalkiewicz, and Jessica Andrade. With a win over Namajunas, J?drzejczyk will have essentially defeated all challengers worthy of a title opportunity.

Namajunas lost out on the chance to be the inaugural 115-pound champion of the UFC back when she lost to Carla Esparza via third round submission back in December of 2014. Since then “Thug” has gone four for five inside the Octagon, as her most recent appearance saw her down “The Karate Hottie” Michelle Waterson in the second round of their fight this past April.

Now J?drzejczyk and Namajunas are set to square off in one of three title fights on tomorrow’s UFC 217 pay-per-view (PPV) from Madison Square Garden. In the lead-up to the fight J?drzejczyk has been attempting to get into the head of Namajunas with her trash-talk, however, “Thug” has seemed unfazed by the Polish champ’s brash attacks.

During the ceremonial UFC 217 weigh-ins Namajunas finally started speaking back to J?drzejczyk, who was firing off insults as the pair squared off. You can check out their interaction here:

If J?drzejczyk is able to win tomorrow night she will tie Ronda Rousey as the most successful female champion in UFC history. Then she can set her sights on breaking newly-crowned UFC title defense record-holder Demetrious Johnson’s incredible feat of 11. Who are you picking tomorrow night in New York?

It may not be receiving the hype one would expect the biggest pay-per-view (PPV) event of the year to garner, but nonetheless, the promotion is set to deliver what appears to be just that, at least on paper, with this Saturday night’s (Nov. 4, 2017) UFC 217 from Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York.

In the main event, longtime former welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre will make his return to the Octagon against controversial middleweight champion Michael Bisping after almost four years away from the sport in a bout that has gained a ton of criticism from MMA fans for letting Bisping avoid the top contenders in the stacked 185-pound division while St-Pierre jumps the line.

The co-main event features one of the most heated grudge matches of the year when bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt finally makes his first title defense against rival former teammate (and former champion) TJ Dillashaw.

Finally, dominant women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk will attempt to tie Ronda Rousey’s record for most consecutive UFC title defense by a female with six when she meets Rose Namajunas for the belt. Supposed lack of buzz aside, this card is simply stacked.

Get ready for the blockbuster event from New York with the full UFC 217 Countdown video below:
