Jedrzejczyk has a few tricks up her sleeve
Joanna Jedrzejczyk: “Of course me and my trainers, we have some game plans for this fight like for every fight, but you never know what’s going to happen in the Octagon.”
UFC straw weight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk won her title using her varied striking attack to overwhelm Carla Esparza and keep her wrestling at bay. Although she used mostly striking to win the title, the champion has some other tricks up her sleeve depending on who she fights
“You can be underdog, but you can beat the champion. This is what I did last time. And so I have lots of respect to my opponents. Of course me and my trainers, we have some game plans for this fight like for every fight, but you never know what’s going to happen in the Octagon. So you must have a different plan, second by second, when you’re in the Octagon.”
That said, Joanna certainly has confidence. “Jessica [is] working very good on the ground, her wrestling is good, but not as good as Carla’s wrestling,” she said.
“But I think she can strike better than Carla and then she will try to take me down. But we will see. They cannot do it, yeah? I’m going to stay the champion (laughs).”
As for how, exactly, she plans to take Penne out, Jedrzejczyk isn’t giving away any secrets.
“I will do my things,” she ended.
“Keep on striking and have a few aces in my pocket. But I will show you June 20 in Berlin.”
