There is a second chance in MMA, but no third chance.
Bring someone, win or lose, and if the fight is good enough, crazy enough and lucrative enough, there will be a revenge.
But if the result of the first and second fight is the same, the mountains need "
Daniel Cormier said it well after his second loss to Jon Jones:" I guess if you win the two fights, there is no rivalry.
fighting story, but not much, and certainly not recently.
Joanna Jedrzejczyk knows it. She knows the punters will not queue to see her fight Rose Namajunas a third time. She does not care, but she knows it.
"I do not care what people want and what they say I know what I want and I know who I am," Jedrzejczyk told the Daily Telegraph
"I do not want not wait and talk like the other fighters (and say) "I want to be a challenger, I want to get a title shot". Get to work! Fight more often! Work your bad hard and get to this place.
"That's what I'm doing right now and believe me or not, the UFC, Dana White, the fans, the people, they want me to come back because I'm the real queen I'm the real straw champion and I'll be back.
"After this fight I'll get the title. I do not care if some people like the idea of a trilogy between Rose Namajunas and me.
"I know who I am and I won my last fight, that's it."
Namajunas' two defeats – one by shock, a knockout in the first round last November and an exciting revenge that followed that distance – dramatically redefined Jedrzejczyk's career.
Namajunas was the last major challenge for her to conquer, and a victory would have equaled Ronda Rousey's record defense. 19659003] A move to the newly established flyweight division and a chance to become a double champion was within reach.Jedrzejczyk had often talked about retiring unbeaten with two belts.For that, Jedrzejczyk must get rid of it. history and find a way back, which begins this Sunday (AEST) against Teicia Torres in Calgary
Maybe Jedrzejczyk is a fighter and certainly a pillar.The reign of his reign, where she sent to The newcomers for almost three years, was his confidence
. She was infinite, endless, the shield on which all Claudia Gadelha, Jessica Andrade and Karolina Kowalkiewicz were all broken.
say that there is a limit between trust and arrogance, but this is not true when it comes to fighting, not really. The winners are confident, the losers are arrogant.
Even now, Jedrzejczyk's confidence remains unbreakable. She maintains that losing the first fight was the result of a bad weight cut. And she will swear, from top to bottom, that the judges tore her up in the second.
"I felt, and I know, that I won this fight.I remember when Bruce Buffer was saying" and … ", for me, it was like the movement slow, "says Jedrzejczyk.
"I turned my head and felt the bullshit
" Even she (Namajunas) could not "I believe …
" And ashamed her for what she said after the fight. "She said it was a stroke of luck after the first fight, but lo, I beat her for the second time."
"Come on, if you're a champion, you can not say bullshit like that, I know what happened in the first fight."
"I was going to win this fight and I still believe in that. I was going to tie Ronda Rousey 's record but I was paying for the mistakes of someone else
"I did not lose only the belt, I lost my fighting career, my life. "
Only Jedrzejczyk knows how much weight decreases impacted in the first loss to Namajunas. All the rest of us can do is speculate.
The second fight, in the eye of this writer, was extremely close. The three judges all scored 49-46, but each gave a different turn to Jedrzejczyk
Conventional wisdom says that Namajunas won the first two rounds, Jedrzejczyk the other two before Namajunas rallied in the final frame .
The top exposure of the two women, one of the highest levels of division exposure had seen. Jedrzejczyk would be favorite against any other straw in the world – in fact, she was the favorite for the second fight against Namajunas. The American seems to have her number. There is no shame in that either.
But Jedrzejczyk, it seems, can not and will not allow his shield to be pierced. She points out that she has overtaken Namajunas during the five rounds and says she's still the champion, just without the belt. She did not watch a fight restart.
"No. I did not do it, I do not know if I will do it
" I do not need it. I am focused on the future and the future is bright.
"I made the changes with my coaches for this camp. </ P> <p> Believe me, you're going to see a better fighter.
" I do not care what people want, I know that. there are people who support me and there are people who still believe in me, that I am always "But let's not talk about the past The future is promising and I focus on what I can do better, today and tomorrow.It is the point.
"I turned the page after the first fight with Rose, and after the second fight."
And so the Namajunas should face Andrade, a former victim of Jedrzejczyk's reign, in his next defense
As impressive as Namajunas was to seize the belt, Andrade could well be a favorite and a victory of 39 Andrade could open the door to Jedrzejczyk to get another shot.If Namajunas wins, the Pole will be back to the outside.
It is out of the control of Jedrejczyk. All she can do is what she always did before Namajunas turned her world upside down.
Jedrejczyk is proud of her work ethic, which she believes few fighters can match. She threw herself as never before before the fight against Torres
It's the anvil on which her belt was forged and, according to her, will be again
"I push my body, my brain, to the edge I work my bad so hard, every day, every day
"That's the point, I'm getting better at each camp. I know I'm better.
"There are people who dream and have goals, but they do not want to work."
"It does not work that way, you have to get to work and take life in your hands, and that's what I'm doing."
Torres is a regular at the top five of the division. His only professional losses were against Namajunas and Andrade
The American is strong on the field but Jedrejczyk has a considerable advantage over the feet. She can win this, and win it well, but it is doubtful that even the most spectacular victory is enough to propel her to an immediate confrontation with Namajunas.
But Jedrzejczyk will not be inclined. It is fueled by a singular and glorious purpose. There are no other goals, nothing else to consider. She has to do it that way.
"If they will offer me a title fight after that, I will take it, even without interruption.I will go there.It's mine."
"I'm ready to start over, even if they want me to do 10 fights before I get the title. I will do it.
"I know they want me to be a champion.After this fight, after scoring my position, I'll get the title."
"I'll overtake Teicia Torres on Saturday. Look at the other straw fights – you can not compare these fights to my fights. I make them all (the whole division) look good. "
