Joanna Jedrzejczyk Doesn’t Blame Anyone For Her TUF 23 Depiction

Joanna Jedrzejczyk spoke with MMAjunkie about her fight with Claudia Gadelha at The Ultimate Fighter 23 Finale and more. Some highlights are below:

On how she came off on the show: “I can’t blame the ‘TUF’ production (team), Claudia Gadelha or myself. I said what I said and I did what I did. But the thing is that, in our regular life, we accept some people and some of the people, we don’t accept. (Claudia) is a person who I don’t accept, and that’s all. I know that she wants to take my belt, my life, my dreams, my goals away from me. I cannot let her do this, and that’s why I was acting like this (on the show). The production couldn’t fit all the stories (in the series). I know the stories, and I can tell you honestly there’s no time to show everything that happened there. There were so many good stories, good moments.”

On possibly coaching again: “I would like to do this one more time, even though it showed me as a bully person, because the most important thing was being a coach, and a friend for all of my fighters. I’m still receiving messages from my fighters. They said I changed some of them, and I’m happy. That’s the most important thing. Sometimes you cannot tell, but I was real, and I’m sorry that you saw bully Joanna. But it’s me when I must fight for myself, for my dreams, my goals, my life.”
