Joanna Jedrzejczyk defends the Women's Flyweight title!
Great fight. And a huge comeback from JJ. She was getting destroyed early, and fans were all but certain we were going to get a new champion, then JJ proved why she was a champ, fought back into it by the end of the first round, then took over half-way through the second, getting the KO. Good show, lads!
