UFC Hall of Famer Joanna Jedrzejczyk released a statement on social media addressing her altercation with Jamahal Hill at UFC 323.

UFC 323 was a night of great fights and great looks, but two fighters made headlines this weekend for their actions outside the Octagon.

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill and UFC Hall of Famer Joanna Jedrzejczyk were involved in an altercation while attending UFC 323 last Saturday in Las Vegas. In newly released footage, Hill was seen and heard threatening Jedrzejczyk by “beating her up” after allegedly coming into contact with Hill’s partner.

Details about what led to the incident are still uncertain at the time of writing, and Hill has not discussed the confrontation with Jedrzejczyk. However, Jedrzejczyk took to social media on Monday to address the controversy.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk to Jamahal Hill: I expect more from athletes in our sport

In one recent statementJedrzejczyk spoke about the altercation with Hill and his partner at UFC 323.

“I have worked so hard to earn my reputation, and I am ashamed to be in this situation. But if someone uses my name falsely without any basis in the truth, I will always stand up for myself,” Jedrzejczyk began.

“And that’s why I don’t deserve to be threatened. I recognize that I am a strong, capable woman who has the benefit of a lifetime of self-defense training. I have a platform and resources that most women don’t have. So I empathize with the women who are disrespected, threatened, and who lack the power and resources to stand up for themselves. And to stand up for the truth. I expect more from society, and I certainly expect more from athletes in our sport.”

“I would like to thank the UFC security and staff for their professionalism,” Jedrzejczyk continued. “I consider this matter closed and I wish everyone happy and healthy holidays.”

Jedrzejczyk was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2024 after a legendary career in the Octagon. Hill, a former light heavyweight champion, has not fought since a loss to Khalil Rountree Jr. earlier this year at UFC Baku.
