21:30 that smile shows everything! Joanna was such a gifted fighter during her reign. I'm glad she's happily retired and has walked away with a boatload of cash! Good for her!
Yeah, now she's appearing in numerous tv shows in Poland, is the face of T-Mobile and You can see her face on giant bilboards on skyscrapers. Yeah, she worked hard for it and deserves every penny she has from it. Love her! Greetings from Poland.
What a warrior. Showed up. Never gave up. Fought her ass off and made herself a star. Hard to hate on someone like Joanna. Spoken with her on instagram before and shes truly a lovely person! Nothing but love for this warrior!
First fight should have never happened. She was seriously ill from losing 15 pounds in 14 hours. When Rose saw her in the hotel at the weigh-ins Joanna was hallucinating.@@marcGOAT1
If she debuted this character in modern ufc it would be a hit. Wmma was really young when she came onto the scene and not many cared / those who did sent hate. Now this personality paired with her entertaining fights would have been a hit! Wmma needs more Joanna blueprints.
@@NHILUSAGE111 Yea, I can't think of a single female fighter that has any personality. Julian Pena is the only one making an effort. Maybe MeatBall Molly too, but she can't keep a win streak.
@@eon001 People would boo and hate on JJ during her run simply cause she would be herself and try to sell the fight that people already had little interest in. Pena is the latest victim of stupid hate just because shes trying to promote herself and make more money/opportunities. But let cringe guy like colby say weird cringe shit the entire time and he will get worshipped even though he sucks for the most part
I mean you could say the same about Ronda then.... but thats not something I respect , I like fighters like Valentina,Rose and Holly who are humble but I definetly respect Joannas ability to fight tho
Joanna was way ahead of her time with the entertaining personality and what she brought to an event. Would easily have been the highest paid female fighter if she was an upcoming fighter today. Gotta appreciate all the entertainment throughout the years.
one of the lady GOATS, i remember how vicious she was, and seeing her destroy girls for 25 mins was as impressive as anything Amanda or Valentina has done, just saying
@jamespaul6315 no shit, but you're talking about Amanda who's in a 20lb higher weight class(sometimes 30 when she won n defended at 145) and she came after Joanna. Amanda without a doubt is the best female fighter ever but girls like Joanna paved the way and she deserves nothing but respect. Her title run was solid, yea she got served humble pie by rose twice, then came back and had the best female fight ever when she fought Weili the first time, and she should've won that fight. 2 rounds she out struck her, and 3 rounds they landed exact amount of strikes the other 3 rounds. Joanna opened the door far many women and inspired them that they could too be Champs if they put in that hard work. That's undisputed
@@TD1021- what does 20 extra pounds have to do with the level of competition? the level of competition is different for every weight class. joana fought weaker competition than amanda. Also what are you talking about paved the way? amanda made her debut 2 years before the booby woman did you casual🤣
So proud of my fellow countrywoman. First Polish champ and she ruled with an iron fist. We did see a nasty side come out of her during the Rose feud, but I think she got humbled and learned her lesson. Joanna Jędrzejczyk is a pioneer of this sport for women and will go down in the history books as one of the greatest to do it. She defended her belt, what, 5 times after winning it? Just winning 5 fights in a row in any division in the ufc is difficult, let alone championship fights. Joanna vs Weili 1 was probably the greatest women's fight I've ever watched, and even tho I think she did win that fight, Weili showed her warrior spirit and gave all that she had too. Love JJ and anyone that loves and follows UFC and the sport knows how much of a catalyst she was to putting women's MMA on the map. Cheers for this great role model and Hall of Famer 🥂 🍻 👏 🎉🍾🏆🥇🥊🥋 Edit: Defended it 3 times after winning it. Nonetheless she's a true warrior and legend of the sport. Wish she won her last fight, but was bittersweet seeing her retire. It was time
@@DyingBreed8shit at that point in her career Joanna was the boogie woman and had all the right to be confident to the max. However as a human being, she needed that humbling that Rose gave her after the nasty comments she told her.
She defended it 5 times, not 3. This is an old video where she was reflecting on the period from Nov 2015 to Nov 2016. She had 3 successful title defenses during that year.
im a Rose fan i love her, and that pre-fight encounters really made me hate Joanna, then i started to like her and now i can see how big of a person she is. Im glad she learned from that like u said, she is a GOAT no doubt
One of the GOATs in women divisions, one of my very favorite fighters, she and Amanda, we miss you JJ, but we, your fans, love you and happy for you doing great after retirement. WE LOVE YOU JJ 💗
What an era of great fighters and Joanna certainly one of the crown jewels. The discipline it takes to train day in day out to become world champion and then stay there fighting the best in itself is mind blowing. She spoke of coming out of retirement but realizes the all consuming effort and pain it takes was not for this time in her life, glad for whatever she chooses.
Joanna Jedrzejczyk one of THE G.O.A.T. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A Beautiful Lady with a Beautiful spirit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Joanna carrer was great but one of the best fights i have seen in UFC was the one with Weili Zhang. For me it is an iconic hall of fame type of fight for both of them.
I wasn't a fan of Joanna originally, fan of how good she was but never liked how she came across. Then with her two losses to Rose I think she came back equally as strong despite the losses and made a lot more fans including myself. Its an odd one but I think thats part of what also makes fighters special, the wins and belts are great but seeing them in a different light can really change your perspective. Joanna is certainly one of the GOAT's in womens MMA, she won her belt, defended it, gave us some epic fights and tbh im happy for her now. Retired from fighting but looks so much happier
I love JJ!!! A warrior and a legend. She's one of my favorite fighters ever because of her effort, tenacity and character. A bad ass of a fighter who's an absolute sweetheart outside the cage. Until further notice, she's forever The Strawweight GOAT. *EDIT:* Now she's a Hall of Famer!!!
Favorite Female fighter ever, her style, her heart, her confidence, her fight iq, if I go thru all her strengths and what I love about her ill be writing till next new-year, in my eyes my personal opinion she's the GOAT now and forever! So happy she was able ride off into the sunset and retire on her terms, very well deserved 👏 ❤
She's my favorite female fighter I think. Helped level up the entire Strawweight division by being such a deadly striker. Everyone was like "hold up, we can't just jab 1-2 and win against her?!".
Such a cool fighter. No matter how much of credit she gets, it still feels inadequate. I would love to see her return. One more run!!! No disrespect, but JJ is the queen of violence.
one of th best female fighters of all time but i wished they showed pars of weii vs joana even though she lost it was one of the best fights in womans history and might go down as the best for decades
joanna was ahead of her time and skill level. She was ahead of everyone else but now that MMA is huge the skill caught up to her. She was a beast, paved her own lane and held that laine for a long ass time. I remember when she fought either rose or welli, and her head was looking like an alien. Shes a true warrior.
You can love or hate her stage personality but out of all the women except maybe Ronda, she was the only one trying to become box office like the charismatic guys. And when you see her interviewed it all comes down to a love of the sport and wanting to be a soldier for UFC and to be the best champion etc. No one worked harder than this woman and she never disappointed on the night. Has to be hall of fame.
An impirtant part of being a champion is knowing when to retire. She is a beautiful woman with many years of life ahead. I'm happy for her and relieved.
It seems like because she was so brash, many were rooting for her to lose and happy when she did but you can’t take away from her how damn good she was and how dominant during her reign. So skilled and stayed relevant even when a couple others finally passed her by.
JJ was the first high level female striker in ufc history. Before her it was just Ronda submissions, she was the first to lay the beat down, that’s what I remember the most
I use to think Joanna was COCKY going into fights but I now know she had to be CONFIDENT in herself to be the champ. She was serial killer in the ring...so much blood was shed by her hands. She is planning a comeback for the belt. I hope she regains the belt one more time before she retires for good. Let's go girl!
If rose or weili weren’t in the ufc, Joanna would definitely still be champ. That’s a very unnecessary statement but really dope to visualize. Always Loved JJs fights! 🔥
21:30 that smile shows everything! Joanna was such a gifted fighter during her reign. I'm glad she's happily retired and has walked away with a boatload of cash! Good for her!

No she was always running her mouth and had a bully attitude.
@@gigapus5050if a dude did it you'd say "he's selling fights" don't white knight.
Joanna vs Weili 1 will go down as the greatest womens MMA Fight in History
No doubt 5 round slugfest war
I never really enjoyed women MMA but this fight quickly became one of my all time favorite fights
Hard to argue. It was one of the best UFC fights in general.
That fight was crazy and electric!!
joanna should be in the ufc hall of fame next year
She will definitely be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame.
Didnt have to wait too long
Uncle Dana heard you, and all of us.

I actually like her a lot more now that the fake persona is gone. A lot more likable when she’s not acting like cejudo lol
Yes that boogey-woman shit didnt really fit her. I think more people liked her when she was acting "normal"
one of the lady GOATS, i remember how vicious she was, and seeing her destroy girls for 25 mins was as impressive as anything Amanda or Valentina has done, just saying
And she would get better as the fights went on during 5 round fights. Complete beast

Joanna still the goat at 115 most title defenses none of the women in her division have come close to her record
Great fighter. Appreciate these fighters while they are here.

One of my favorite fighters for sure.
For me she always seemed to proud to be representing her country and so proud of being the champion
The empathy she shows for her opponents in this is very heart warming. She made me say “awe” multiple times 🥹
Brilliant Fighter - my favorite always - I was so lucky to be in a seat next to the walkout - it was thrilling! 🎉

My all time favorite fighter
It is a bit of a pitty, but understandable, that they don't show the Weili fight. That fight was epic and there is no shame in that loss. Epic.
They should have showed it. It is one of the greatest fights of all time.
Yeah, agreed. Regardless of what the record books state... nobody lost that fight.

JJ is so cool.
Great video
Congratulations for Joanna 🎉
She really is a great one! She seems happy. Respect to her.
Fun fact, Joanna was actually a bigger favorite to beat Valérie Létourneau at 193 than Ronda was to beat Holly.
Always felt Joanna had a mental edge vs Gadelha. Joanna knew what buttons to press and Gadelha was so wound up.
Joanna is awesome. What a warrior.
Joanna sw queen. Since inception there were 4 sw champions to date. 👏👏👏
She's still the Strawweight Queen.
Love-U °Champion ! ❤😊❤
She was the 1st complete package in women's MMA in terms of actual skills and promotion effort.
Love her!
@25:40....man what a come back karolina has been making. I love seeing that
My favorite fighter ever ! Glad to see her getting recognition. The SW Goat!!
The female mcgregor
Man, Amanda is the goat forever but Joanna was my favorite fighter. And always so gorgeous even now😍

She carried the torch for wmma after ronda retired, keeping wmma interesting for years. she'll always have my respect.
A beast and responsible for so many memorable UFC pop culture moments.

The ufc needs to do this for all former champions including the ones that are owed money and they don’t like
She defended her Belt 5 times Jessica Penne, Valarie,Claudia Karolina and Andrade..not three times.
Yes but at the time this was recorded it had been 3 and she was reflecting on the 12 month period from Nov 2015 to Nov 2016

Joanna is pretty she is great
Female warrior. Never been in a boring fight. Always entertaining.
