Filed under: News , UFC UFC strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk is in a curious position as the UFC 207 main event between women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes and former titleholder Ronda Rousey rapidly approaches. Jedrzejczyk (13-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) has no horse in the race from a competitive perspective, but she is a bit torn as a bystander because Nunes (13-4 MMA, 6-1 UFC) comes from her same training camp at American Top Team in Florida, while Rousey (13-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) has been touted as a friend and idol of the Polish champion. Although Jedrzejczyk has only trained for one fight – her unanimous decision win over Karolina Kowalkiewicz at UFC 205 in November – at ATT, it’s enough for her not to side against her teammate. Her history with Rousey runs slightly deeper, though, because at one point the pair were both viewed as unbeatable champions and shared the responsibility of being the faces of women’s MMA. Jedrzejczyk won’t be happy to see either side lose at UFC 207, and she said her relationship with both women is the reason she won’t pick a winner
