Getting to the UFC 223 event has been a wild ride. The main event has gone through several iterations, Conor McGregor and crew crashed the week’s festivities and landed in legal trouble, but the one constant has been the UFC 223 co-main event.
Rose Namajunas upset Joanna Jedrzejczyk’s undefeated record and plans to tie Ronda Rousey for most title defenses in UFC history by a woman at UFC 217 last year.
Now the champ, Namajunas was called upon to give Jedrzejczyk an immediate rematch and she obliged, confident that her first win over the Polish fighter was no fluke.
The two squared off for the final time before the fight on Friday afternoon at the UFC 223 Ceremonial Weigh-ins in Brooklyn, N.Y.
