‘I was about to call Dana White’ - Joanna Jędrzejczyk almost ended her retirement

Joanna Ju0119drzejczyk was a few months into retirement before she got the itch to fight again.

Immediately after her second-round KO loss to Zhang Weili at UFC 275 this past June, Ju0119drzejczyk left her gloves in the Octagon and told UFC color commentator Daniel Cormier that she would join his ‘league’ and retire. For the next phase of her career, Ju0119drzejczyk shifted focus to being an ambassador for the promotion and getting into managing up-and-coming fighters. And though content with that phase, the former UFC strawweight champion recently admitted she has thought about fighting again.
