Joanna Jedrzejczyk went back and forth with strawweight champion Zhang Weili in the co-main event of UFC 248 in what was an epic, future Hall of Fame bout. Unfortunately for the former champion, she suffered a massive hematoma on her forehead that left her almost unrecognizable.
Now that the fight is a few days in the rearview mirror, Jedrzejczyk has provided a health update and revealed that she will be undergoing surgery in her native Poland.
“My whole face is bruised but … there’s no more swelling on my head,” Jedrzejczyk told TMZ Sports. “It’s more on my face, and like my neck. It’s going down, but it’s much better.
“I scheduled surgery in Poland with the best plastic surgeon, so it’s all good. On Monday, I’ll have a small medical procedure on my ear and the swelling will go down and I will be ready to rock and roll.”
