Joanna Jedrzejczyk continues to have trouble accepting her losses after dropping her second straight strawweight title fight to Rose Namajunas on Saturday.

The former 115-pound champion stormed out of the Octagon upon hearing the judges' scores, which all had Namajunas winning 49-46, and proceeded to claim herself as the real winner in the post-event press conference, saying "numbers don't lie" in reference to her strike total.

Jedrzejczyk says her botched weight cut in the first match last November led to the first loss and that, in her mind, she is still far and away the most dominant fighter in her division despite the judges' scores.

"You can see the other female strawweights fighting, and c'mon," Jedrzejczyk said, according to Steven Marrocco of MMAjunkie. "They cannot compare themselves to me. They are all are only jealous and talking too much all the time.

"I'm telling them, bow down. I'm the queen."
