Even though I moved to Florida, I'm still Polish.
— Joanna Jedrzejczyk
I always wanted to talk to Ronda about how she felt the night before that night that she lost to Holly Holm.
I like to make history.
I talk with my body in the Octagon the day of the fight.
I cannot help that I'm simply the best.
Since I moved to American Top Team, I feel like I'm the bird that got to escape from its cage, if you know that meaning.
I used to starve myself to death.
Slowly, step-by-step, I will reach my goals and my dreams.
Who's the real queen? Hell yeah, hell yeah. Bow down, I'm the real queen!
I'm enjoying my life as a fighter, but more as a human and this is what matters.
Maybe some people think that it's all about the hype, about the fame, but it's not. It's all about being the best. It's all about challenging myself everyday.
You can be an underdog, but you can beat the champion.
I believe in people so badly and I love when people treat me the same way.
I'm a big fan of Conor, and I'm a big fan of Khabib.
Reebok has consistently shown that fitness is truly demanding.
You know why I'm so confident? Because I am working so hard every day. That's why I am different than the other fighters and my opponents and the challengers. That's why.
People can doubt me, and they'll do that forever, but show me a better, cleaner fighter in the UFC or in general.
I want people to talk about me in five, 10 years, 20 years, that I was one of the best female MMA fighters, that I was one of the best UFC champions in the world back in the day. This is what I want.
I like to break the records, break the limits.
I want to have my own kids, I want to raise them and just be a happy grandma.
We all are different. Our lives are different.
I follow Ronda. I am big fan of her. She is simply the best for me.
I want to show to everyone that I am simply the best.
You can have the perfect plan through the first punch but then you have to take the fight second by second.
I'm a professional athlete, I'm a businesswoman and I know who I am.
100 Muay Thai, boxing, and kickboxing fights. Six times world Muay Thai champion, five times European Muay Thai champion, very dominant UFC champion for three years. I know my legacy. They can say whatever they want to, but I'm huge.
I couldn't care what people are saying or not saying because I have my own life. I know who I am, I know who is Joanna Jedrzecjzyk. And I know who I want to be.
For myself, I'm still little Joanna from the hood - from a small town in Poland, and I'm still having my goals, my dreams.
I've got talent from my gut and I did my job to show to everyone that I'm simply the best.
Maybe I'm the baddest chick on the planet, maybe I'm the baddest woman in the Octagon, but I'm definitely emotional.
I was 16, I just wanted to do something in my life. I wanted to be healthy, I wanted to lose some weight and I went for my first training. In the beginning I didn't know what Muay Thai meant. You know? But I liked it so much, and after six months of training I had my first competition in Poland. I won, and after that I knew that I wanted to do it.
I believe a training plan that involves MMA techniques is a sure way to being fit.
It's MMA. I'm a complete MMA fighter. I expect everything. I'm ready for all of it.
People used to call me violent, savage.
I want to be a legend.
If I would become a champion at 125, I will jump between 115 and 125.
I want to be the first champion of the 125-pound division.
Every fighting career is different.
I'm very hard on myself everyday, you can ask my coaches, and after a good training session, I'm not happy because I know I can do better or change something to do better, you know?
I always have good feelings in America and I like it so much.
I'm a warrior.
I don't do fights on Twitter.
People know me only from the Octagon, from the gym. I'm a different person outside and I am who I want to be.
I want to be the best. I have my goals, my dreams.
I have almost 100 Muay Thai fights, so I used to train and fight with really tough kickers.
For me the more important thing is fighting. You know, training, fighting. The sports side. I didn't choose my media life.
I don't like to predict the fights. People can do that. They can predict my fights, but I never do that.
You never talk bad about your teammates, doesn't matter if you like them or not.
Lots of luck to Paige VanZant. I met her a few times. She's very nice girl.
I like to fight on the ground. I'm learning every day. I think I'm good.
