The Brazilian said he was shocked by the behavior of the former champion, who also provoked her backstage after insulting her to the whole world during the ceremonial weigh-in on the eve of UFC 217.
“I was shocked by the girls (Joanna Jedrzejczyk e Rose namajunas). I was shocked. Not just the fight. The fight was very shocking. But on the day of the weigh-in for the media, for TV, Joanna said a lot of things to Rose, put her hand in her face... Rose was frozen, without reacting. When we went backstage, Rose came crying, in tears. I thought: “This girl won’t be able to fight. She is emotionally destroyed.” But crying a lot, copiously,” revealed Borrachinha, in an interview with the MMA Ganhador podcast, saying that Namajunas was alone, without her coaches when she was provoked by Joanna.
“About 20 minutes passed, Joanna came in, teasing her, putting her hand in her face and shouting. And Rose crying looking at the floor. She didn't need all of this. I was almost going to take Joanna and sit her on the other side of the room, like children (laughs)”, said the Brazilian (…) And she was alone. Everyone with a coach and her alone. When she gets to the fight, she goes and does that. When I saw that I was very happy, I was rooting for her a lot”, said the Brazilian.
