Joanna Jedrzejczyk cut ‘15 pounds in 14 hours’ ahead of UFC 217

It was no secret that Joanna Jedrzejczyk had an issue with her weight cut when she left her nutrition team, Perfecting Athletes, in the wake of losing her title at UFC 217 to Rose Namajunas.

On the latest episode of The MMA Hour, the former strawweight champion described how she was forced through a dramatic weight cut at the eleventh hour ahead of the weigh-ins for the Madison Square Garden card.

“Man, I felt so bad, I had to cut 15 pounds in 14 hours; I did it in 14 hours,” Jedrzejczyk told Ariel Helwani.
