Joanna Jedrzejczyk defends the Women's Flyweight title!
Roxanne was doing some very good things early. Both of these ladies are tough as hell, so this one looked like it would last a while. But JJ landed a clean one relatively early and got the flash KO finish. RM is sad. She had lots of gusto left and would have liked to have kept going. But being unconscious has its drawbacks.
