AccuRadio Song Of The Day-Rose Namajunas vs Joanna Jedrzejczyk

Here's the match video of Rose Namajunas vs Joanna Jedrzejczyk from last night's UFC show at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Of course Rose won with a shocking first round upset. This was after Joanna talked a lot of trash leading up to the fight. The reason she did so much of that is though Rose's physical skills have been obvious since her Invicta days, she doesn't always have her head on straight. Her loss to Karolina Kowalkiewicz still bothered me because she performed so poorly against someone she should beat easily. I was not convinced by her two wins that got her this title shot. After Rose lost that fight, Rose and fiancee Pat Barry moved from Milwaukee to the Denver suburb of Arvada, CO and her new coach Trevor Wittman of Genesis Training Center. When Rose trained at Roufusport, she seemed to get the jitters and lose her confidence. So the main challenge Wittman had was to calm Rose down and reassure her. She looked fine before the fight. But I had doubts because of her history. What if this gets into deep waters? Well, it didn't happen. Rose knocked Joanna down but Joanna got up immediately. It's not the first time Joanna has gone down. But the second knockdown stunned Joanna and Rose followed up with strikes and Joanna tapped out. The finish won Rose a bonus. It was early in the fight and Joanna had yet to get her range. Congrats to Rose and Trevor Wittman. Of course the old maxim in the fight business is it's one thing to win a title but another thing to hold on to it. And there will be a rematch. And it could turn into a trilogy. I think the one thing Joanna needs to work on is getting off to a better start in fights. It's always taken her the first round to get going. But this was the first time it cost her. Enjoy the video!
