As fighters, we have to be in the best shape ever, this one night.
<< The undisputed Champion of the World Joanna Jędrzejczyk! >>
I feel like it's the calm before the storm,
when I step into the octagon my spirit is on fire and I love it!
(Come With Us)
I'm preparing for this one person,
they tell me that I'm weak, I'm not strong, I'm not fast,
so I'm like okay come and try me...
What the funny thing is,
six months before I joined the UFC, I wanted to quit everything, I was that broken,
but I was like god give me one more chance.
Even if you have to survive and sacrifice your whole life, it's worth it,
even if you're gonna be happy only one day,
if you're gonna succeed only for one day, it's all worth it.
In 2012, Dana White said that there is not going to be a female divisions in his organization,
and look where we are right now.
I think we could safely say, that was the greatest title fight in women's MMA history.
There are always people going to doubt you, people are going to cut your wings.
If I'm broken I go I cry in my bedroom,
but then I'm fine I'm JJ, I can do it,
I remember my fight with Claudia Gadelha the second fight
and you know what, I lost first two rounds she took me down so many times.
There you go look at just how strong Claudia Gadelha is...
After the second round my manager came and said like do something, you're losing fight,
you would lose the belt and I was like;
Dude, I believe in myself, come baby, i'll show you one more time, that i'm the champ for the reason.
I fired him after that fight, because your team they should be on the same page with you all the time
doesn't matter if you win or you lose
I see this sport growing, changing,
I'm very proud of myself and I'm very proud of fighting like a girl you know
Joanna, you are a true champion in defeat and in victory
it was an honor to call your fight and I can't wait to see you again
From the first training, I didn't fall in love with punching people
or letting my aggression go,
every training was a big chance for me to become better, to face my limits,
get to the edge and decide if I want to just give up or do more
I'm willing to put in the work and putting in actual work and
it's not only about the hard training, but it's all about the obsession of being the best
champions are not made in the gym, it's all about something here
Very often people think about female fighters that we are tomboys, dumb person,
that we don't study, we don't read books, I love to prove them wrong and show them the other face.
It doesn't matter I have done everything to be prepared for this fight.
The greatest strawweight fighter in UFC history is back.
I love doing tv, I love media and camera likes me,
because I'm honest you know,
it's something new for me and I like to challenge myself and i like to get myself out of comfort zone
every single day and face my fears.
I'm an athlete, I'm a fighter, but i'm also a human
I'm a woman and I love to do so many stuff
I always tell people that I'm addicted to life
I don't wanna miss any single thing which can make me happy.
I always wanted to be remembered
because I always want to be the best in everything I do in my life
And there is only one strawweight champion of the world and it's me Joanna Jędrzejczyk from Poland.
My goals and my dreams are my biggest motivation
I went back to Florida and I was looking for the answer
if I should retire or not
but after a week of training people were like "when are you fighting J?"
I can't stop you know, and I feel the fire and I feel the motivation.
The plan is to be, still the baddest woman in the world
Who's next?
I don't know when I'm going to fight, 6, 12 months but i know i have a plan already and
I will follow my dream.
It's going to be so much fun, I promise to you!
Yeah this is who I am and I love it you know.
