Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill has come forward with a detailed account of the heated confrontation with Joanna Jedrzejczyk at UFC 323, claiming the Hall of Famer aggressively confronted him without explanation before the now-viral shouting match that required security intervention.
“I greet everybody. I go up to Joanna, I say ‘hey what’s up champ, how you doing?’ She’s like ‘yeah, what’s up? Where’s your girl? Your girl’s not here? Where’s your girl?’ I was like no, she’s not here.’,” Hill said on his YouTube Channel.
“She’s like ‘you’re Mr. Big Player Man, Mr. Big Time.’ I’m like what are you talking about? She’s like ‘I don’t know how you get down in America but I’m from Poland, we’re real gangsters, I don’t do this sh*t, I don’t play this sh*t.’ I’m like yo, what’s going on? What happened? So I asked her about this. Was something said? Did you hear something? Talk to me. What’s going on? What are you upset about?”
Hill says the encounter quickly escalated once he attempted to clarify why Jedrzejczyk was upset, claiming she became increasingly agitated despite his repeated efforts to understand the issue. According to Hill, that’s when the situation took a sharp turn.
“This lady just completely flipped her sh*t,” Hill said.
“She’s going on ‘no, motherf*cker, you like talking sh*t, you like talking sh*t!’ This is the first legible thing she’s said. I was like I was talking sh*t, let’s start there. What did I say? She said ‘no, I don’t do this, I’m from Poland motherf*cker.’ I’m like Joanna, I’m just trying to understand what you’re upset about. What did I say? What did you hear that has you this upset?,” he continued.
The situation took a more hostile turn when Jedrzejczyk began to allegedly threaten Hill’s girlfriend and the former light heavyweight champion himself.
“I don’t have no f*cking lawyer, all this bullsh*t, I’m from Poland, I’ll f*ck you up, I’ll f*ck you up, I’m not scared.’ I’m like whoa, now she’s threatening me! Then she says ‘I should have smashed your girl’s head in, go over and smash your head in, too! I don’t give a f*ck.’ Now she’s threatened me, she’s threatened my girl. I have not threatened her. I have not raised my voice to her. I asked her one more time, can you articulate for me what the issue is? What was said?’,” continued Hill.
“She said ‘no, you’re talking sh*t, you’re talking sh*t.’ I just know you’re talking sh*t, I hear you’re talking sh*t.’ So you’re upset with me and you don’t know what I said. You can’t tell me what I said and you’re this upset but you can’t tell me what I said or what you’re upset about.”
Hill says the confrontation reached its breaking point once Jedrzejczyk allegedly moved toward him and continued making threats, escalating the situation beyond anything he expected. At that moment, he claims his patience ran out and the exchange turned far more heated.
“You’re upset with me, you’re coming at me crazy and all these things and now I don’t give a f*ck about why you’re mad. I don’t care whatever reason why you’re mad. I don’t care and you sound f*cking retarded. I told her, you sound retarded, to me. At this point, she’s already threatened me, she’s threatened my girl. I’m not trying to hear this shit. She’s walked up in my face now. She’s approached me also in my face like she’s going to do something to me,” he said.
“All the people talking about ‘Joanna was the aggressor.’ My girl wasn’t there. She was being aggressive towards me. The whole time. Threatening me, being aggressive towards me. Not one time did I get aggressive, did I go towards her, raise my voice, anything. At that point, I’m like you’re making a scene, this sh*t ain’t cool. The UFC staff comes, they grab her, start moving her away and now she’s getting real loud talking about ‘just wait, I’ll f*ck you and I’ll f*ck your girl up.’ I’m like if you would have touched my girl, I would have knocked you the f*ck out and if you touch my girl, I’m going to knock you the f*ck out. She’s threatening to assault my girl.”
In Jedrzejczyk’s account, she offered no explanation for what sparked the confrontation at UFC 323. Hill, however, has his own theory, or more specifically, a person he believes was responsible for the entire situation.
“There’s absolutely no problems at all but Joanna’s manager is playing this little game. A couple of years ago in New York, when the whole bus incident happened, a bunch of us were in there, Joanna was in New York, I was in New York and I shot my shot. I was shooting my shot, I tried to smash. Her manager, this entire time we’re at this event is like subliminally trying to drop messages to my girl, trying to dry snitch. The thing is, I’m real, I’m a real honest and transparent person. My girl already knew this. My girl had already known this, I had already talked to her. We had already spoken on this. She kept doing this,” he said.
“When she does it again, my girl tells her ‘I know about New York, I’m not mad, I’m not tripping about it, we’re good, I know my man, we’re good.'” Hill claimed.
“So her manager takes this and because she can’t drive a wedge or get the reaction she wanted so she just straight up turns to Joanna and said ‘you had sex with Jamahal?’ Says this to her in front of my girl, which understandably could be embarrassing for her, which is something I absolutely never said. I said I tried to sleep with her. She says this to Joanna. Joanna jumps up, she’s like ‘no, I’m not like that, I’m from Poland, we’ve got morals, we don’t do that.’ Now mind you this entire time we’re at this event, my girl and Joanna have been sitting and talking, they’ve been cool, best of friends, this whole time. She was not tripping about this at all.”
“From what I’m being told and what she’s not saying publicly, she was upset that I told my girl that she was in my DM’s and she was trying to get with me and all this and that’s why she was upset,” Hill said.
“Never happened. I never said that whatsoever. Absolutely never said that. What I said was I made the advances. I still don’t know why she’s mad. If she can tell anybody why she’s made, please truly, let me know.”
