Jedrzejczyk: Kowalkiewicz Doesn’t Deserve A Rematch

– Following her victory at UFC 205, UFC Strawweight Champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk spoke with mmafighting.com, claiming that Karolina Kowalkiewicz does not deserve a rematch. Here is what she had to say…

“No, come on,” Jedrzejczyk said on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour. “She lost the fight. It was like 10-8 every round. Maybe the fourth round she was dangerous for like 10 seconds. In Woodley and Thompson, Thompson deserved the rematch, you know, the fight was so close. But come on, she can’t talk about the rematch. I heard she was running to Dana [White] right after the fight and asking for the rematch, but come on, come on. “She’s tough, but I’m a champion because I’m so humble in the gym, I’m so humble everyday,” Jedrzejczyk said. “I’m hard on myself, I learn everyday, and I’m making the right decision in my life and fighting career. Karolina was tough. I didn’t disrespect her before the fight. I had really tough fights with Claudia Gadelha, Valerie Letourneau, so it wasn’t the toughest fight for me. I was so dominant in this fight, I felt so great, I felt like I could do more, but I did just enough. Okay, she dropped me in the fourth round, but that’s all, so she was just dangerous for like 15 seconds, that’s all. I felt great, and I’m good. She was not the toughest, but I expected very tough fight from her. She was the challenger, and I know that Polish chicks are tough.”
