She’s someone where the sport will miss her more than she misses the sport. Truly a pioneer for women’s MMA
Is womens mma a seperate sport to mma I’m confused
@@MakeOutHeaven666 oh gawd one of you people.....
@@MakeOutHeaven666 dudes that’s like saying one of the best of a weight class
@@lizardman1303 whatt??? Wdym lmao
@@macgruberyahfrigginturds7044 one of you people 💤
Her giving props to the UFC employees was dope asf too. Fans who care or fans who act like they care about UFC fighters never seem to mention the employees who help these fighters tremendously. Respect, Joanna.
It’s dope af, not dope asf. Either way you’re right.
@@Will-ge7ri its either one
@@teamelitedefeat6130 You are correct.
Stop saying "dope".
You neither..
One of the classiest retirement speeches ever. She's a true warrior, and a legend in the sport. JJ will be missed in the octagon.
Tito ortiz
@@LoLo-ue5xe what about him?
@@earthstrong-43.72 He wants to outlive his children
My thoughts, exactly. 💯
Such a spontaneous speech. You can see how emotional she was, she was trying her best to say everything and nit break down and cry
Nit
@@kamalahmed5057 grow up
great speech considering how hard she got hit
@J Slough i am not insulting her. I admire and appreciate the moment and the amazing career she had.
Shevchenko Rose Weili are real true talkers Joanna always talk about her best bla bla we tired about her speech she need a coach speeches
Future Hall of Famer and one of the best ever. She has nothing left to prove. Thank you for all the great fights.
Entertaining a f. She truly elevated her division during her reign and some
@@beaualIoevv literally nothing to do with this video. Get glovers meat out your mouth
@@beaualIoevv He said he was exhausted. The age definitely played a factor on that part but Glover looked amazing, 1 of his best performances, even in defeat. Even after those egregious mistakes he made where he could've put Jiri away on multiple occasions in the fight. If the fight wouldn't had ended that way he would've won 4-1. I expected far better with Jiri on the feet don't know what's up, it looked like he practiced 0 striking and only ground-game for this fight.
She was cheeks
She talked shit and got banged
Joanna you left a significant mark in UFC history. You will stay as a legendary warrior in our hearts. We love you Joanna and wish you all the best in your undertakings.
and in the hearts of millions she will allways be the polish gangster much love to joanna you are a true champ with or with out a belt
We will remember her as the lamest champ ever.
@@deld.f.paraelmundo1685 and not Carla Esparza or Nicco Montano or any other boring fighters that were champions lmao. She’s gonna be remembered so keep coping.
@@deld.f.paraelmundo1685 really? I feel like there is WAY more champs you could say that about. At least she had 6 title defenses.
@@vietnamsemonky4082 I just remember her acting kinda cringe and almost like a bully to others lol she was a champion back then when the fighters were all new and low experienced fighters except some who had alot experience before ufc made a female division
She was one of the greatest fighters of all time, She has nothing to prove, Thank You Joanna Jedrzejczyk You will always be the Champ In my Heart.
The last fight was one of the toughest fight I ever seen, Joanna retiring, I must say she deserves everything!! A true legend & Hall Of Famer! Thank you Joanna!!👏🏾
Glad the crowd got silent when Joanna was telling them to listen to her, honestly wasn't expecting a retirement but what a legacy she's left behind. Legend in the sport no doubt 💯💯
It's Singapore they have alot of respect
It’s not America that’s why
Okay guys relax, go read a book or something. Release that tension by any means just don't kill anyone please nice respectful civilized people.
Much respect to a legit pioneer and all-around baddass! Stellar career. Wish her the best.
in my books joanna is a bad ass women
*THE BOOGEYWOMAN 4EVER*
Lol much respect to a fighter that exhibited zero respect. Pathetic.
@@ThesenamesAreLame Yes. Respect for the entertainment she gives all her fights alone. You cannot see even one boring fight in her career
I don't wish her all the best
*I genuinely love the fact that one of the best and most violent women in the sport just wants to go be a mom. Joanna Jedrzejczyk will always be one of my favorite fighters. Long live "The Boogeywoman!"*
Man, this caught me off guard hearing it last night. I’m going to miss her fights.
How can a 35 year old woman been world champion gets knocked out n retires catch u off guard? Y’all act like fighters are robots. U would have been 1 of the fans booing. So from me to u you are da!
hahahahahahahahahahaha
It is very hard to see her retire in the octagon. She accomplished it all. It was an honor to see JJ fight. Happy retirement and best of luck in your future endeavors. ❤️
@@beaualIoevv I mean You've no idea how well-rounded Joanna busines-wise is lol
@@beaualIoevv She is quite good at business, stop spitting stupid shit
@@beaualIoevv Tell your mother to get Only Fans
她年龄也大了，回归生活结婚生子挺好的，就像张伟丽所说，mma是一种传承
Joanna just got "future endeavored" WWE style.
Lose win or draw, what a legacy champ. Enjoy your retirement champ.
Retired former ufc champion
Seeing her retire really brings me to tears. We love you JJ. Thank you so much for the amazing fights you’ve put on for us. This sport wouldn’t be the same without you.
what a legend of the sport. we will surely miss her. she gave us some really good fights either a win or a lost. that first fight with weili that was a classic. enjoy your retirement champ 🏆
legend of weak forever hahahaha she need 3rd rematch one more chance maybe hahahaha
@@LOLLOL-kg4dz holy shit i've found 12 year old me!
Sad way to see Joanna go out but she's a legend she was a big reason why female mma started blowing up
Yeah definitely, that’s the nature of the beast that is MMA though
Yes jj will always be the beast and best in that division. Happy retirement jj.
@jacob sun I agree with Rhonda but Gina was just a pretty girl fighting, and tbh Rhonda was easily marketable. As soon as girls got better Rhonda got pieced up. JJ is better than both of those girls combined
@Jacob Sun Noone said those werent big. But WMMA has REALLY blown up in the last 4-5 years kiddo, thats a fact.
@Jacob Sun Joanna really helped female MMA among Europeans.
A legend in the sport, sad to see one of my favourite fighters go, love you Joanna!
You should be happy she is leaving when it is time to hang it up. Smart woman.
End of an era. True student and lover of the sport. Whether you love or hate her, she has given us some unreal fights through her career. She will be missed no doubt
Absolutely perfect decision. Came back for the fight, that we all wanted to see, gave it her all, and retired at the perfect time! She knows that she wants to do other things with her life and she has already proved herself. This is the model example of how to retire on time.
Amazing career. She accomplished everything in the UFC 🇵🇱👸
Amazing career? 😂😂
@@AAAisAAA yes...
@@AAAisAAA She was a champ with 5 title defenses.
@@AAAisAAA 5 title defenses, most in SW history, gave one of the best UFC fights of all time against Zhang, and doesn’t talk shit behind a screen, I’d call that an amazing career
@@AAAisAAA achieved more than you will ever in ur life.
One of the best mma careers I have ever seen. Hall of Famer, Strawweight GOAT, and just a Queen of MMA... Thank you Joanna for all the amazing performances you put on for us. I wish you a great and well deserved retirement.
Another bully being knocked out. Ronda first and now this one. Glad to see they were taught good lessons and immediately ran away into retirement
@@scgamerd seems that you have been always bullied in school and still keep getting slaps and farts in face❗
@@scgamerd shut up casual
Straw weight goat? Are you joking she’s number 2 straw weight easily don’t be a causal
@@Lospollos24 who's number 1?
She has been a heel in this sport. I have loved to hate her. But tonight, her humility and genuine love for the sport (and herself) in retirement brought a tear to my eye. Congratulations, and God speed Joanna!! Thank you for putting your body and life on the line, EVERY TIME, for our entertainment.
Weirdo
You loved to hate her then change your mind just like that, huh….
Nothing but the best for Joanna. She's worked her ass off in the UFC and now she can go and enjoy herself and the plans she has. Hell of a fighter and her speech was very touching too.
It says a lot when you’ve only lost to champions. Definitely a legend and responsible for some of the most memorable moments in Women’s MMA.
Joanna is the definition of a tough lady...I will miss her so much in this sport...all the best to her future ❤
Heart of Gold. We love you JJ. Thank you for pioneering WMMA and always putting on great exciting fights. I’ll miss watching you fight but enjoy retirement. You deserve it. You are forever my favorite fighter and absolutely legend. You inspired and continue to inspire me. Hall of Fame fighter.
every time i miss JoJo i come back to this speech. really hope she comes back for a fight or two but honestly i can live w the masterclasses she’s put on for us
Joanna is one of the all-time greats. Thank you for everything, JJ and we’ll see you in the Hall of Fame.
If she was the greatest of all time she would have lost here. Clown
Damn watching this live was unexpected & emotional AF... Hope you have a happy retirement Joanna 👏
She had an incredible run and worked so hard to earn it all! It was a pleasure seeing her journey and she will do well in whatever she decides to do. Best wishes to JJ, its time to turn the page and enjoy the other aspects of life.
I'm honestly surprised she came back and fought last night. She's been killing it outside the octagon. Best of luck JJ!
Mad respect to you jj. You will always be my favorite. I’m so happy to witnessed your career. You’re a great champion. Happy retirement jj.
Of all the women, she was my favorite. She was a big reason why I became an MMA fan. Congrats on an amazing career Joanna and enjoy your well-earned retirement. Good luck on the next chapter!
most heartfelt retirement speech in MMA I've ever heard. Incredibly well said, respect warrior. OSU!
Joanna has always had that IT factor. incredible champ, warrior, ambassador. everything. I know she'll succeed with everything in the future.
She will forever be a titan and SW Queen. Her run will be the stuff of legends, even after we’re all gone👸
and this is the best comment, Joanna's fame will outlive us all
A pioneer of women's mma , great fighter always classy . She deserves all the respect in the world for the kind of fights that she has had over the years . We'll miss you Joanna 👑
Not a fan of women fighting but she was classy there, yes.
Always classy ? More like “away cocky”
Classy 🤣🤣🤣🤣 now she's been humbled many times, arrogant and unlikeable
Always classy....HAHAHAHAHA
@@jd9799 Oh man, you must hate colby soooo much
Love this girl! I'm sad she is retiring but she leaves behind an amazing legacy. Thank you Joanna!!
She’s been awesome. Thanks for bringing her into UFC, Dana and company. Tough lady there..! Wish her all the best and that ALL her wildest post UFC dreams come true!
The One and Only Strawweight Queen. A great career.
👊💪🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
Love you, Joanna. I don't like seeing you retire, but you're already a legend and you're right about focusing on your life.
I ordered this PPV just to see her fight. I’m glad I did, but I’m also sad that it was her last fight. She has been my favorite fighter for so long, but while I’m sad to see her go, I’m glad that she’s doing it on her own terms.
The thought of never seeing JJ fight again leaves me gutted. Huge fan, love this warrior.
A legend. Grew up watching her dominate everyone, will definitely miss her and all of her exciting fights.
Boogie woman for a reason! She left it all in that cage every time. Came short tonight, but can’t never say she’s a boring fighter.. much respect
When she was coming up and then as a champion she was fucking BRUTAL. Those fights looked like slaughters. She's the reason I started watching more WMMA.
are u like 15? lmao
you grew up watching her? shes been inthe ufc for 6 years NIGGA
@@whitedom2041 21 lmaooooooooooooo
JJ has been my fav female fighter since her debut, your a legend thank you for the amazing fights ✊🏽
She is a sweetheart ❤️ Of course a true fighter,and former Champion 💪. i will miss her. Bless you Joanna. Regards from me Amsterdam The Netherlands 🇳🇱
The weight cut was looking really hard on her at the weigh ins. And she knows moving up a class is probably a recipe for disaster. All my respect to JJ, definitely one of my favorite fighters
"I wanna be a mom" Good for her! Happy to hear that.
The first female fighter I became a fan of purely because of her style, and intensity in the cage. Will miss watching Joanna compete. 👸
You’re in my book on the top it was absolute pleasure watching you fight and the level of determination you have shown will help young future fighters mature . Dziękuję Ci
Touching... Thank you JJ dzieki wielkie I respect. Napawasz nas duma.
She makes me feel like I too can be strong and humble. Much respect, thank you for being Joanna 👊🏻
Happy retirement, JJ! I loved your career, I was hoping you would win and give Carla Esparza another huge beating, but either way you’re definitely going to the Hall of Fame you’re a true warrior.
Fr I knew if she got passed Zhang she'd put hands on Esparza again 😂 to be honest weili has thr same chance to beat Carla great TD defense and good offensive wrestling as we saw her take Joanna down which is crazy. So should be easy win for Zhang
@@josiahgonzalez942 I believe the same, I just prefer JJ over Zhang, but I know either one of those two can hand Esparza's ass over to her, especially after her last performance, she definitely deserves to get destroyed as she did when she faced JJ.
She brought and did so much for her division in the UFC. She made me a fan. Pure respect to her. I hope she enjoys retirement, because she sure did earn it.
Great career, best fights, greatest legend ! Good luck in making your dreams come true. Thank you for everything ! ❤👏🙏
❤️ Joanna, watched every single one of her UFC fights live. What a great person she's awesome. Sorry that it ended on a loss but like she said she is enjoying life and it's better to quit when your ahead. She earned her spot as a true mma legend. Thanks for everything Joanna, a true inspiration. Much love to Poland 🇵🇱
Still the greatest SW in UFC history in my opinion, hope all is well with her and good luck and your future career!
Give me a break
😂😂
@@GIBBO4182 funny for your bum brain
Rose and Zhang definitely above her.
@@Agent0004 ZHANG
How can you not love this lady! So appreciative, so thankful! THANK YOU Joanna for EVERYTHING! Best wishes on your next endeavor ✌️❤️
I'm a Chinese in Poland, I love both Joanna and weili.
Thank you Joanna for your amazing career. You will always be champ to so many of us. Thank you again and enjoy your life!
We must all appreciate Joanna for having entertained us throughout the years :-)
We just saw her yesterday at Marina Bay area here in Singapore. How i wish I could’ve ask her to take pics... thanks for the good show you’ve given us UFC fans Joanna! Enjoy your retirement.. 👊😜👍
No one’s gonna remember her for her losses. Just her incredible wins. What a legend
Best women's fighter in UFC history. She had the most entertaining title fights/wars out of any woman that's completed. AND what's wild is she is a multiple times muay Thai world champion before even starting MMA! People like to hate on her and say she's cringy, at least towards the end of her career, but we have to respect her for laying her blood sweet and tears on the line in *2 different sports* for us! I'll forever be a fan JJ. Much love and enjoy your much earned retirement from combat! 🙏
what a stretch lol
She isn't the best women fighter in UFC history. Fantastic pioneer? Yes. Hall of Hamer, yes. But both Valentina and Nunes are better than she ever was. Even Thug Rose is probably better.
@@bowhunter8532 I can list at least 5 female fighters better than her.
She lost twice to weili and rose..so she's obviously behind them..plus valentina, nunes, cyborg, rhonda
@@slee2695 how many title defences Rose and Welli had?
Bro........I cried, I just wasn't imagined her being knocked out, and then to retire with such class. For some reason I just keep getting emotional thinking about it.
Same it’s because we’re very passionate about the sport and passionate in general so we feel others feelings at an amplified level
Joanna jesteś WSPANIAŁA 👊💪🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱❤ Dziękuję za wiele dobrych emocji 💪
She lost...
😔
Class act. Loved watching you perform. Thank you for the memories. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Love you Joanna, thanks for all your great fights and all you gave the sport!
We are proud of you! you done well you have achieved soo much you became the champ. Thank you
it's tough to retire after such a big loss but this ferawell was beautiful. I will always remember her outstanding technique and great wars with best of the best.
Amazing/Exciting fighter. I wish her and her love ones the best. She left us with a lot of great performances to remember. Enough!! 🇵🇷❤️
What a career. Respect.
Wow the crowds reaction was amazing! The cheers and when everything went silent to hear everything she had to say unbelievable!🙏👍👍
What an amazing career! The strawweight GOAT and one of my favorite fighters. Happy retirement Joanna
Much respect and blessings to her and her endeavors! Her fight with Zhang Weili will always be one of the best I’ve ever seen. Ever.
Thank you Joanna! Champ, HOF & Legend!
Love that she wants to become a mother. It will end up her greatest accomplishment. Congrats on an exciting career!
uhh no. billions of women can become a mother, only a few become a champion.
@@oceandrop7666 in the long run children will grant her much more happiness and contentment out of life.
She always brought the fight. A true legend of the sport. Happy retirement JOANNA CHAMPION.👑👑
Great job!!!!!!!!! Thank you for making history. Thank you for being brilliant in and out of the ring
All the best for Joanna in retirement. She had a legendary career and deserves an induction into the HOF. We will miss her. 😢
Thank you,Joanna Jedrzejczyk (From Cage Warriors to UFC and Now,Retired),we always continue for fight and never forget forever.....😭🙏💪
We love you too Joana. Thank you for the many years of your contribution to MMA. You brought entertainment and so much joy.
Thank u Joanna for proving that any girl can accomplish so many goals. Sending u love from the Navajo Nation in New Mexico. Huggies and prayers to you dear. ♥️
An absolute legend of MMA. One of the greatest fighters of all time and in my eyes the SW GOAT. Thank you Joanna on a great career and you will always be one of my favorite fighters of all time!👑 ❤️❤️❤️
She's an inspiration, I'm glad I got to enjoy her time as a fighter. Enjoy retirement JJ!
Good luck with the next phase of your life Joanna!! Thank you so much for the legendary fights you will be missed! And D.C is right you didn't let anyone down, not even close.
Thanks for every single fight You’ve done. All the best 😀❤️👍
Wow, Joanna has nothing but exciting fights. True professional. She’s amazing! Best of luck to her! But Zhang looked like she has elevated her game a lot. Joanna is not an easy person to hold down and she was killing her on the ground. The spinning back fist caught Joanna of guard. Congratulations!
Yep cejudo started training her after she lost to rose for the second time, even cejudo was surprised someone improve so much as her in a little amount of time. I think zhang actually might take the belt in the future.
@@georgepierre3594 Not a controversial opinion at all. Many think Weili will beat Carla to regain the belt and with good reason.
A true strawweight legend and pioneer!! Thank you joanna for a legendary career 🙏👊🏻
Forever a winner in our hearts and minds, thank-you for everything Joanna, much love ❤️
I listen to her and I crying. Thank you Joanna for everything what you done for Poland🇵🇱 and for that sport. 💪🏽🤎🔥
Wore my Joanna shirt proudly tonight, I'm sad to see her go but thank her for all the great fights she's put on. Thank you Joanna, enjoy the next chapter in your life.
Blessed to have lived in this era of amazing fighters. Absolute legend.
She's gonna be great in whatever she chooses to do next...thank you and best of luck champ 🙌🙌🙌
I love this woman so much the respect people have for her shows she has done so much for women's mma im so glad I got to see all her fights she's a true fighter till the end ❤
Asia. Cała Polska kocha Cię za to jakim sportowcem jesteś, jaką byłaś mistrzynią i ile emocji nam wszystkim dawałaś. Nie było w Polskiej historii takiej kobiety jak Ty. Hall of Fame ❤️ Wszystkiego najlepszego! Dziękujemy!!! 🥰
👊💪🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱 Dziękuję ❤
Not many have aged as well as Joanna in the sport. She wasn't well liked & now everybody loves her. Wish her the best.
Kinda like Colby
Pls help when did Welli become champion. I've been searching UFC website she's not on as Champ
Thank You for everything!
