Quotes by Joanna Jędrzejczyk
I must cut lots of weight. Isn't nice, but it's part of my job and I can make it very easy.
The strawweight division may be the lightest division in the UFC, but we are very tough fighters.
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.
