Valerie Letourneau vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk Live Round-By-Round Commentary
Pre-Fight: Letourneau and Jedrzejczyk are just moments away from battling it out for the UFC strawweight championship. Jedrzejczyk is looking to keep her perfect record alive, and Letourneau is trying to pull off the upset.

Round 1: Letourneau earned the first takedown of the match roughly one minute in. The champ took control late in the round, though, thanks to two big kicks right to Letourneau’s face, including this one.

Round 2: Both fighters landed big blows in the second, but the challenger prevented three Jedrzejczyk kicks. It was a very even round.

Round 3: Jedrzejczyk landed multiple big kicks on Letourneau’s left leg, and she also connected on a kick right to the challenger’s face. It was the champion’s best round so far.

Round 4: The champion failed to capitalize on her performance in Round 3 for most of the fourth, although she did land some big rights in the closing seconds. This one is going to a final round.

Round 5: This one is heading to the judges, although there is little doubt who will win the match. The stat of the match was 60-9, which was the difference in leg strikes in favor of Jedrzejczyk. Many of those came in the fifth round, when she closed out the match.
