Joanna Jedrzejczyk has given a positive update after the epic battle she endured in her last fight.
Jedrzejczyk was narrowly edged out by UFC strawweight champion Zhang Weili at this past weekend’s UFC 248 in Las Vegas, suffering a split-decision loss in a five-round thriller. The damaged she suffered was visually evident, including a massive hematoma on her head, leaving her with some serious swelling on her face.
Speaking to TMZ Sports, Jedrzejczyk gave an update on her health, saying that the swelling has reduced and she is planning on returning to her native Poland to undergo surgery on her face.
“My whole face is bruised but … there’s no more swelling on my head,” Jedrzejczyk said. “It’s more on my face, and like my neck. It’s going down, but it’s much better.”
“I scheduled surgery in Poland with the best plastic surgeon, so it’s all good. On Monday, I’ll have a small medical procedure on my ear and the swelling will go down and I will be ready to rock and roll.”
The former strawweight queen came closer than ever in recapturing her title, and being the natural competitor that she is, Jedrzejczyk says she’s certainly open to a rematch with Weili.
“I want to fight the best, if it’s the next step, yes … of course, why not?” Jedrzejczyk said. “Let’s rock and roll again. Let’s dance again, fight for the belt.”
“I’m not sad. I’m not happy. I’m just resting, recovering my body, and I cut myself a little bit from the media, from what’s going on around, and I feel good.”
