UFC Fight Night 161 Results: Veteran ends undefeated streak, Former headliner to get fired after devastating KO?

#1 Joanna Jędrzejczyk vs Michelle Waterson

Dominance

"Dominance" is the only word that we can use to describe the highly-anticipated main event between Joanna Jędrzejczyk and Michelle "The Karate Hottie" Waterson. Jędrzejczyk outpointed Waterson to a lopsided unanimous decision victory and it wasn't even close.

For five rounds, Jędrzejczyk dictated the pace of the fight and afterward, she revealed that she had done it all with a broken foot. It speaks volumes to her toughness, but credit must be given where it's due to Michelle Waterson.

Jędrzejczyk showed massive respect to her opponent, calling her a "warrior" after the fight. Waterson absorbed a lot more damage than she would have liked and she had two critical moments where she had Jędrzejczyk's back and nearly locked in a Rear-Naked Choke on the first attempt.

However, there was no doubt as to who the better fighter was on the night. Perhaps it was Joanna's bigger size that let her dictate the physicality aspect as well. In terms of significant strikes, the former UFC Strawweight queen was far ahead.

Jędrzejczyk stated that she wants to fight for the title next and it's going to be a toss-up between her and Tatiana Suarez. Who does Weili Zhang have to wait for?

Result: Joanna Jędrzejczyk def. Michelle Waterson (Unanimous Decision 50-45, 50-45, 49-46)
