"It feels like a movie right now," Namajunas said in her post-fight interview. "There's so much crap going on in the media and news, I just wanted to try to use my gift of martial arts to make the world a better place. "This belt doesn't mean anything. Just be a good person! That's it. This is extra. This is awesome but let's just give each other hugs and be nice. I mean, I know we fight but this is entertainment." With the TKO, Namajunas handed Jedrzejczyk the first defeat of her entire career and ended all hopes of her matching Ronda Rousey's record of six consecutive title defences. Namajunas is the new UFC strawweight champion and she might well be the most likable title-holder in the entire organisation. "I feel like a normal person," she added. "I'm just regular. There ain't nothing special here." We'd dispute that...THUG ROSE, THUG ROSE, THUG ROSE!
