Karolina Kowalkiewicz lost a unanimous decision to UFC Women’s Strawweight Champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk at UFC 205, but there was a moment in the fourth round where the challenger nearly finished the champion with str📖ikes. She wants a shot to do that again.
While Kowalkiewicz was thrilled to be fighting in Madison Square Garden she would like a rematch with the champ and she would like it to take pla🧜ce in Poland -- their native land.
“I was so close (to finishing the fight), I know it,” Kowalkiewicz said at the post-event press conference. “I think she didn’t expect that I am so tough. I feel really good. I’m a little bit sad and angry because I was so close during this fight. But I feel good. It was a good fight. I do what I love, so it’s OK. I am part of something big. And this is something amazing. The energy from these people is something great. I’ll beat her next time, rematch in Poland.”
UFC President D🌌ana White said a fig🐎ht between Kowalkiewicz and former title challenger Claudia Gadelha could be on the slate for the company.
The U🤪FC does not have an event scheduled in Poland in the near future, but with events only being announced until March 4 of 2🥀017, an event in Poland could take place.
