Joanna J?drzejczyk feels UFC Strawweight Champion Carla Esparza doesn’t deserve hate and hostility ahead of UFC 281.
Esparza earned her second stint as strawweight titleholder by defeating Rose Namajunas at UFC 274. She faces Zhang Weili at UFC 281 and is the heavy betting underdog entering fight night.
Ahead of her upcoming title defense, Esparza received a storm of boos and jeers at the UFC 281 pre-fight press conference on Wednesday. It’s uncertain what the specific reason was for the hostility, though an assumption can be made it could be due to her less-than-entertaining fight with Namajunas.
Unlike Esparza, J?drzejczyk was a UFC fan favorite for years during her time in the Octagon. She defeated Esparza for the belt at UFC 185 via second-round TKO.
After getting word of Esparza’s harsh reception, J?drzejczyk wants Esparza to be accepted by the fans as a worthy champion.
Joanna J?drzejczyk Says Former Foe Carla Esparza Deserves Respect
During a recent press conference, J?drzejczyk gave her thoughts on Esparza’s cold reception by fans.
“She’s the champ, she deserves respect and all the attention,” J?drzejczyk said. “It’s not only about being the best athlete, it’s about having the best character if fans see charisma in you or not. If I was becoming the strawweight champion for a second time, I would get bigger. I would double the amount of followers, money, contracts, everything. It looks like for Carla Esparza, it’s enough. It’s okay, we have to respect that, but she’s the champ so she deserves all the respect right now.”
J?drzejczyk retired following her loss to Weili earlier this year at UFC 275. A win could’ve earned her the next title shot against Esparza this weekend.
Esparza recently hinted that the boos immediately following UFC 274 took away the spectacle of reclaiming the belt. While she hasn’t appeared visibly impacted by the hostility, she’d surely prefer being positively received by the UFC fanbase.
J?drzejczyk knows the ins and outs of being a UFC champion and star and feels Esparza could reverse the perception of fans with a signature performance this weekend.
