An honor to witness your great career - Charles Oliveira, Dustin Poirier and rest of MMA Twitter shower Joanna Jedrzejczyk with best wishes following retirement  

Former longtime strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk announced her retirement during the UFC 275 broadcast.

Jedrzejczyk, who is inarguably one of the greatest female fighters in MMA, said she's moving on from the sport following a devastating knockout loss to Zhang Weili at UFC 275 in Singapore.

Poland's 'Boogeywoman' was in line for a title shot if she could avenge her 2020 loss to Zhang. However, a slick spinning back fist from the Chinese fighter found a home on Jedrzejczyk's jaw in round two, sending the 34-year-old crashing onto the canvas.

After the fight, it became apparent that Jedrzejczyk had an important announcement to make as she stuck around in the octagon for an interview. During her interview with Daniel Cormier, Jedrzejczyk said:

"It's been 20 years. I'm turning 35 this year. I want to be a mom. I want to be a businesswoman. I've been training more than half of my life. I love you guys."
