"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201C&lt;em&gt;J\u0119drzejczyk&lt;/em&gt;\u201D is not the easiest surname to spell or pronounce. So the UFC strawweight belt holder wants to keep things simple for her fans, who are growing in number.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She\u2019s fine with you calling her by a less tongue-twisty, more descriptive name: \u201C&lt;em&gt;Joanna Champion&lt;/em&gt;.\u201D In fact, she prefers it.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of course, in order to bear that moniker, one must live up to it. And on Saturday, in a title defense that headlined a UFC Fight Night at O2 World in Berlin, Joanna J\u0119drzejczyk put on a performance that not only was worthy of her adopted name but surely left linguistically inclined observers speculating that her middle name must be \u201CDominant.\u201D Or \u201CUntouchable.\u201D Or \u201CMerciless.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;MORE MMA: The Unbreakable Ronda Rousey\u200B&amp;nbsp;| Fight Night 69 play-by-play&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 27-year-old Pole thoroughly battered Jessica Penne, bloodying and staggering the jiu-jitsu black belt from California with a relentless stream of fists, elbows, and shins for nearly 15 minutes before referee Marc Goddard mercifully stopped the fight at 4:22 of the third round.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CAnd again and again and again! And still!\u201D the exuberant champ said afterward in the cage. \u201CAnd I\u2019m going to be a champion for a while. Nobody is going to take this belt from me.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It would be hard to argue with that after witnessing this blowout. J\u0119drzejczyk (10-0) was in charge from start to finish, stalking Penne (12-3) with a striking game honed in a 60-fight Muay Thai career, during which she was a five-time world champion. Just as the newest UFC weight division\u2019s first champ, Carla Esparza, had failed to turn her March fight with J\u0119drzejczyk&amp;nbsp;into a wrestling match (1 of 16 on takedowns), Penne also was unable to bring her jiu-jitsu game to the fore. The one-time Invicta FC 105-pound champion attempted 11 takedowns, and while she came close a few times, she did not finish any of them.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That kept the fight standing ... in Joanna Champion\u2019s world.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u200BJ\u0119drzejczyk was methodical and relentless, landing 162 strikes to Penne\u2019s mere 28. She was accurate (66%) with her offense and evasive when her challenger flung leather in her general direction (30%). What was no less remarkable was her patience. Even as she was turning Penne\u2019s face redder by the minute, most brutally with a short elbow to the bridge of the nose out of a second-round clinch that rocked Penne's world, J\u0119drzejczyk didn\u2019t rush in. She could sense that victory was hers for the taking, but why rush the inevitable?\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here\u2019s where the unavoidable comparison to the UFC\u2019s other female champion comes into play. Ronda Rousey displays her dominance in short snippets of brilliance\u2014her last three bantamweight title defenses lasted 14 seconds, 16 seconds, and 66 seconds. That\u2019s maximum efficiency for you. And according to \u201CRowdy Ronda,\u201D it\u2019s also something else. \u201CWhen I finish people fast,\u201D she told SiriusXM recently, \u201Cthat\u2019s me at my most merciful.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By that standard, it\u2019s abundantly clear that J\u0119drzejczyk has no mercy. In each of her last two fights\u2014in which she won the belt, then defended it\u2014she nullified her opponent\u2019s game while dishing out a beatdown that perpetuated until the other fighter was broken and the referee had seen enough. That\u2019s her brand of dominance. And while it\u2019s far different from what Rousey does, J\u0119drzejczyk&amp;nbsp;does have a fan in Rousey.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That last part, with the hashtag, was the same question asked of J\u0119drzejczyk in the octagon after the fight, since strawweight is well stocked with potential challengers. Her answer: \u201CAre they ready for me? No.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;MORE MMA: C.M. Punk Q&amp;A&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;UFC 187 recap | Kimbo-Shamrock highlights&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J\u0119drzejczyk is bursting with confidence, as well she should be. But there are challenges ahead. In six weeks, on the undercard of Rousey\u2019s defense against Bethe Correia in Rio de Janeiro, there\u2019s a strawweight bout between Cl\u00E1udia Gadelha and Jessica Aguilar. Gadelha has a history with J\u0119drzejczyk. They fought to a split decision in December, which earned J\u0119drzejczyk her title shot. As for Aguilar, she\u2019s a UFC debutante, but while reigning in the World Series of Fighting, she was considered by many the world\u2019s top strawweight. So it makes sense that the winner of the UFC 190 showdown would be next in line for J\u0119drzejczyk.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are they ready, though? Is anyone? The fans sure are ready to watch and not waste their time learning how to say \u201CJ\u0119drzejczyk.\u201D It\u2019s looking like \u201CJoanna Champion\u201D might be around for a while.\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
