One of the biggest talking points from Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Zhang Weili’s all-time classic bout at UFC 248 was the enormous hematoma the Polish former champion suffered during the fight.
You simply could not take your eyes off of it.

Jedrzejczyk admitted back in March that it was difficult to see how viral the injury went on social media:
“Honestly, I know I’m in a man’s sport, but I don’t think there is a sport for a girl or a sport for a guy – the world is free, (and) it’s the 21st century. I’m a very clean person, (and) my aesthetic, I like to keep it clean,” said Jedrzejczyk on this week’s episode of MMA Fighting’s Eurobash podcast. “My clothing…I take showers about four or five times a day! I’m very girly, so I hate myself when I’m like this, but that’s the price we have to pay.”
Despite the injury and the trolling of others, she admitted that she found herself laughing at some of the memes relating to the injury online.
“There are still a few bruises, but I was laughing about the memes after my fight. Even though I cut myself off from social media I was still laughing, but I’m telling you guys from the next day, the swelling in my forehead went down and I couldn’t see out my left eye for two days. I had a vision of only five percent in my left eye – it was pretty rough. It is what it is, the swelling went down,” she said.
The former UFC strawweight champion will likely have ample time to get healed up as major sports around the country are shutting down amid the coronavirus outbreak.
