Jedrzejczyk explains why she was so angry with Weili Zhang: You never disrespect my fans

Joanna Jedrzejczyk is known for her intensity during staredowns, but the former UFC strawweight champion was more tense than usual during yesterday’s UFC 248 media day face off with Weili Zhang.

Here’s what Jedrzejczyk said to Zhang before the reigning UFC strawweight champ told her to ‘shut up’ (h/t MMA Junkie).

“What you have done yesterday to my fans, you never do that,” Jedrzejczyk said. “You don’t (expletive) with Polish nation. Why did you do that? I will outclass you on Saturday.”

It turns out Zhang did disrespect Joanna’s fans by flipping the bird at them during Wednesday’s open workout session, but this came in response to disrespectful chants of ‘Corona Virus’ from the crowd.
