They're both Muay Thai strikers so it should be a good fight.
But yeah they both also have unreadable names.

KK via knees to the face
how much is a vowel in poland? people can't seem to buy em that much
Jedrzejczyk vs Kowalkiweicz: Battle of the consonants!
KK already has a loss to to JJ. By rear naked choke go figure.man you guys are overrating jj's striking she had a tough fight with valerie and got dropped by claudia kk is the only good striker she will have ever faced in mma and kk looked amazing last night especially in the clinch
And imagine Goldie mispronouncing both fighters' names constantly throughout the entire fight.
And most of them pronounce it differently each time they say it.Fixed.
If this fight happens, someone in the UFC needs to learn how to pronounce their fucking names so they can teach everyone how to actually say it. Between Goldie, Rogan, Buffer, Anik, Florian, Stann, Hardy, Gooden and various narrators, I've heard Jedrzejczyk be pronounced about a million different ways.
It physically pains me when she's shown on camera, or worse, has a fight coming up, as I know I'm about to have to endure audible torture.
Hell, if they just started using first names, at least that's a start, but no. Commentators seem to be really proud of themselves that they (think) they know how to pronounce them.
So instead of "Joanna", we hear "yun-jay-check", ye-on-jay-check", "yown-jay-trick", etc.
Over. And over. And over.
Someone save us...
Honestly, I would guess we have just as many vowels in words as the American language.
It's just the clusters like "rz" "cz" etc. that you are not familiar with that makes you think it's a lot.
"Kowalkiewicz" < seems like all vowels right? kOwAlkIEwIcz. 5 vowels in 12 letters.
Matthew McConaughey is an example of a US name that for Polish people is like Jedrzejczyk for you. MC, TH, GH, these are clusters that don't exist in Polish.
Matthew McConaughey - 2vowels + 5 vowels
Karolina Kowalkiewicz - 4vowels + 5 vowels
I would think that the US names need to borrow just as many vowels as Polish names
Just no.
KK > JJ in looks and everything physical, but she doesn't have 1/10th the skills JJ has.
KK barely survived Rose.
Kowalkievicz or whatever her name is is going to get lit the fuck up.
