UFC 217
Joanna Jędrzejczyk was 14-0 going into UFC 217 to defend her Strawweight title against the 6-3 Rose Namajunas. Joanna was considered by many such as Daniel Cormier and Dana White, to be one of the greatest fighters ever, so Rose was a considerable underdog.
Funny things can happen when fights go live; Rose had never knocked out anyone before, but she did this in round 1 against Joanna to win the title.

UFC 217 Cheat Sheet -- Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Rose Namajunas
Over the course of a 25-minute fight? No. It's impossible to say she is. Namajunas is one of the best in the world, but she can't consistently beat Jedrzejczyk over five rounds. But can she surprise, and possibly finish her, at any given moment? That she can do.
