“I don't know what happened, but when you feel like the first round wasn't good, and the second wasn't good either, you have to do something to get the victory even if you're taking risks. But I don't know what happened. Until the end of the fight I thought Rose had won, but no. About Carla, I really thought she would get better. I was like, 'This girl is going to get better. She has so many wins in a row’. But to me, she looked the same as when we fought for the belt seven years ago. And history likes to take turns. And soon I will be the champion”, said Joanna.
Even without stepping into the Octagon since March 2020, Joanna could get a new title shot if she wins her rematch against Wheili Zhang. The second clash will be at UFC 275, scheduled for June 11th. The Polish fighter has a record of 16 triumphs and four setbacks as a professional athlete.
