Former UFC strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk is one of the best female fighters ever. Apparently, one aggressive party guest learned that the hard way back in the day.

During a recent conversation with fellow UFC legend Chuck Liddell on King of Violence, Jedrzejczyk was asked if she had ever been in a street fight. The former champ didn’t have to think about it long.

She harkened back to an incident at a party that left one man unconscious, and her “scared to death.”

“I knocked the shit out of a few guys,” Jedrzejczyk told Liddell. “One time I was at a party. They were super drunk. [This guy] was spilling a beer and the DJ said ‘please the dance floor with the glass.’

“He was still dancing, so I told him, ‘hey man, I think the DJ was talking to you, so you should go.’ He started [talking smack] to me, and told me to suck his d**k. So I was like ‘oh really?’”

Jedrzejczyk claims that she punched the man, and knocked him out.

“Boom —and he went down,” she said. “He went down and all these big guys are like ‘this girl just knocked the s**t out of this guy.’ I was so scared. I was scared to death and I left the party and left the club.”

Jedrzejczyk’s fear was that the men would come after her. Thankfully, the incident never escalated further.

“I thought they were going to come to me,” she said. “I was ready, of course, but I said never again will I get into a street fight, but I had to take care of my pride.”
