One could argue that Joanna Jędrzejczyk is one of the greatest strawweight 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.

Since her first loss, JJ had mixed performances in the UFC. Moreover, she went 2-4 till her last fight. However, all of those losses were against top-tier fighters. 

After giving a fight-of-the-year performance against then-champion, Zhang Weili at UFC 248, JJ took a hiatus from the sport for more than two years. She returned at UFC 275 in a much-anticipated rematch against Weili. However, things didn’t go as planned and Weili brutally knocked Jedrzejczyk out in the second round. 

Furthermore, the loss also marked her first-ever KO loss in her entire fighting career. JJ announced her retirement in the post-fight interview. 

Did Joanna Jędrzejczyk consider coming out of retirement? 

Recently, during an interview with ‘BT Sports’, JJ revealed that there came a time when she considered coming out of retirement and fighting again. She said that she was about to call her management and the UFC president Dana White to get her back in the promotion.

She said, “two weeks ago, I went crazy, man. I was calling my management; I was about to call Dana White and Hunter Campbell to bring me back. Actually, I had this conversation with my coach, Mike Brown, and Dan Lambert, the owner of ATT. But yeah, it’s hard to like sit, think, like you’ve done so much, your legacies so big. I’ve been this for the last 19 years of my life.”
