Joanna Jedrzejczyk wins the Inaugural Women’s Lightweight title!
This was a great fight. Back and forth battle between two VERY skilled, upgraded, elite warriors. Fujii did some good ground work, but for some reason felt compelled to keep staring with JJ rather then going to the ground more often. She should have gone to the ground more often.
