Why Joanna Jędrzejczyk ALMOST Ended Her Retirement..

Welcome back to Fightopia. Joanna Jędrzejczyk was a few months into retirement before she got the itch to fight again. Immediately after her second-round KO loss to Zhang Weili at UFC 275 this past June, Jędrzejczyk left her gloves in the Octagon and told UFC color commentator Daniel Cormier that she would join his ‘league’ and retire. For the next phase of her career, Jędrzejczyk shifted focus to being an ambassador for the promotion and getting into managing up-and-coming fighters. And though content with that phase, the former UFC strawweight champion recently admitted she has thought about fighting again. One of the most recent instances came a few weeks ago, according to Jędrzejczyk. ‘JJ’ told Adam Catterall of BT Sport that she spoke to her team and was this close to calling the UFC brass about a return to competition.

One could argue that Joanna Jędrzejczyk is one of the greatest strawweights of all time. During her heydays, the Polish went on a tear as she became the UFC champion. At the time she was undefeated and continued her 14-fight undefeated streak. However, it came to an end when she met Rose Namajunas at UFC 217.
