“I worked so hard to earn my reputation, and I am embarrassed to be in this situation. But when somebody uses my name, falsely, without any basis in truth, I will always stand up for myself, and for that I do not deserve to be threatened,” Jedrzejczyk said in her post.
“I am mindful that I am a strong, capable woman who has the benefit of a lifetime of self defense training. I have a platform, and resources, that most women don’t have. So I empathize with the women who are disrespected and threatened, and lack the power and means to stand up for themselves. And to stand up for the truth.
I expect more from each of us as individuals and as a society, and I certainly expect more from athletes in our sport—especially former champions.
I want to thank the UFC security and staff for their professionalism. I consider this matter closed, and wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season!”
The video of the altercation has spread quickly across social media. Despite the shaky footage, the audio is clear, capturing the heated exchange between Jedrzejczyk and Hill.

Hill can be heard saying, “I’ll knock you the f*ck out. If you touch my girl I’m going to knock you the f*ck out.”
To which Jedrzejczyk replied, “Yeah, you will?”
“Period,” was Hill’s comeback.
What prompted the altercation is still unknown, and as of this writing, neither Hill nor the UFC has released a statement addressing the incident.
