Rose Namajunas shocked the world by finishing Joanna Jedrzejczyk with strikes in the first round

This one... wow! There really isn't much more you can say besides that. Virtually nobody gave the 25-year-old, Rose Namajunas a chance at dethroning the reigning Strawweight queen, Joanna Jedrzejczyk, but she did just that.

An absolutely flawless performance from Namajunas, Joanna had practically no success whatsoever...which is just incredible considering the calibre of striker she is. Joanna was beaten soundly and only able to land five strikes against the equally rangey, Namajunas.

After scoring one knockdown, Namajunas had Joanna's attention but she just didn't see the big left hook that was in store for her. Of all the ways it would end, we thought Namajunas would need a submission, but instead the biggest underdog on the card came out and prevented the champion from tying Ronda Rousey's title defence record for a female and now starts her own legacy.

Just madness and something I don't think MMA fans will be forgetting anytime soon.
