Den gångna helgen mötte Jessica Andrade stråviktsmästarinnan Rose Namajunas under UFC 237 i Brasilien, där hon tog hem bältet när hon lyckades knocka Namajunas med en slam i andra ronden.
Enligt den forne mellanviktsmästaren Michael Bisping var vinsten mer på grund av tur än någonting, då en slam sällan leder till knockout.
Bisping har Namajunas som vinnaren i ett eventuellt returmöte.
Via podcasten ’Believe You Me’:
Listen, Jessica Andrade is now the champ. I didn’t see it happening to be honest. Do you know what? I think, and I shouldn’t say this cuz it’s doing a disservice to Jessica Andrade and maybe even being disrespectful, which I’m not trying to do. It was kind of a fluke. Do you know what I mean? That doesn’t happen.
She’s done that move a lot, generally people don’t land on the head and get knocked out. That’s not to say in a rematch she couldn’t win, but I’d definitely favor Rose in the rematch after what I saw in that first round and a half. That said, as I said that does come off a little bit disrespectful. That’s not my intention.
Namajunas hade innan förlusten 3 raka vinster, varav 2 mot forne mästarinnan Joanna Jedrzejczyk och mot Michelle Waterson.
Joanna gick ut med sitt stöd till Namajunas efter mötet.
Hon har sedan förlusten mot Andrade uttryckt att hon är osäker på hur hennes framtid ser ut i MMA.
Going into this one I was like, ‘this might be the last time I ever do this.’ But we’ll see. We’ll take it one day at a time. Like, this is a lot. But it was super fun. I had a great time. I kind of always think that. But this time was pretty heavy. It’s a lot on Pat and I’s relationship and everything. But like, there’s so much good that comes out of it. You’ve gotta see the bright side of everything. It’s easy to dwell on the negative. But, you kinda have to not give yourself grey hairs either.
Håller ni med Bisping om att Andrades vinst mot Namajunas mest berodde på tur?
