Joanna Jedrzejczyk believes she lost the UFC strawweight title last month because of weight-cutting issues caused by her nutritionists.
Jedrzejczyk said in an Polish interview with Przemysu0142aw Osiak of Przeglad Sportowy that she had to cut about 16 pounds in 14 hours — a large amount of weight in little time, especially for a 115-pound fighter — ahead of her UFC 217 bout against Rose Namajunas. The former champion confirmed that she has since parted ways with her nutrition team, Perfecting Athletes, due to the weight-cutting errors it supposedly made.
