Joanna Jedrzejczyk announced retirement after being brutally knocked out by Weili Zhang No. UFC 275. Still, the last impression is not what remains for Dana White. In conversation with journalists, the president of Ultimate guarantees that Pole will have a place in the organization's 'Hall of Fame' in the future.
“Ah, without a doubt. (She was) one of the women who helped build women's MMA, especially in the UFC – always fun to watch, she always came to fight. Her walk that night when she arrived at the arena, (was) gangster as usual. I love everything about Joanna, and I'm glad she fought and finished her career here with us,” White said.
