"I met up with Dana [White] on the way over here and that was the one thing where I was like, 'Dana, do you know who I'm looking for? I can't wait to meet Joanna.' So he brought her over to me. I was like nervous... It is so cool to see women's MMA really taking over. I really think she is going to be the next dominant champion that's on top for a very long time. It was an honor to meet her. I haven't been so captivated by a fighter in a while."

-Ronda Rousey heaps praise on fellow UFC Women's Champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk in an interview with Ariel Helwani following the Reebok fight kit reveal (transcribed by BloodyElbow.com).

Penick's Analysis: Through her two title fights, Jedrzejczyk's skills and her personality have shone through massively, and Rousey's not alone in being captivated by her. She's going to have another major test ahead of her later this year when she faces either Jessica Aguilar or Claudia Gadelha, but for now she's flying high in her UFC run. That she's got a major star like Rousey enamored with her has to be flattering, and it's another sign of her deserving some more exposure next time out.
