The great Joanna Jedrzejczyk has spoken about the time she once knocked out a man in a nightclub.

As we know, Joanna Jedrzejczyk is one of the all-time greats in women’s mixed martial arts. She was one of the first major stars to come out of the UFC, serving as a dominant flyweight champion during her reign at the top. While she didn’t end her career exactly the way she would have liked, she certainly accomplished some wonderful things while she was in the mix.

Since then, Joanna Jedrzejczyk has focused on several other ventures, while still showing up at UFC events quite regularly. She was also involved in some of the most iconic rivalries in the promotion’s history, most notably with Rose Namajunas and Zhang Weili.

The great nightclub story of Joanna Jedrzejczyk

“I was at the party one time and the guy was really drunk. He spilled beer. DJ said, ‘Hey, please leave the dance floor with the glass.’ And then he was still dancing, I told him, ‘Hey man, I think the DJ was talking to you, so you should leave.’ He started [smack talking] to me, and he showed me like I had to suck his dk.

“So I thought, ‘Oh, really.’ Tree [punched him] and he went down. And all these big guys were like, ‘This girl just beat the shit out of this guy.’ I was terrified and left the party, left the club. I thought they were coming for me. I said, never again will I get into a street fight. But I had to take care of my pride.”
