Former strawweight champion Joanna J?drzejczyk has provided fans with an injury update and shown her face for the first time since UFC 248.

The Polish striker fought in an epic five round war against Weili Zhang at UFC 248 last Saturday night. It was a back-and-forth bout which J?drzejczyk lost by the narrowest of split decisions.

During the bout J?drzejczyk suffered a horrific hematoma on her forehead that worried fight fans and pundits alike. Since the bout she has only posted one picture of her forehead whilst covering her face. Other than that, J?drzejczyk has only spoke to media over the phone to confirm she is doing well and will seek the rematch against Zhang.

In an Instagram post from earlier today J?drzejczyk shows her uncovered face which is almost full with bruises. Despite that she seemed in good spirits after arriving home to Poland, she said.

“Hello guys! I made it home. I’m in Poland, it’s almost 2am. Happy to be back home. I took a long shower, unpacked some stuff and now I’m having a small home spa. It’s a mud mask. Of course, I’m still having so many bruises on my face, on my chest. The swelling went down but I feel better. So, we good! I’m about to go to sleep. I cannot wait to enjoy my family and friends. Be safe guys.”

Joanna Jedrzejczyk’s forehead is healing up well.

Jedrzejczyk suffered a hematoma on her forehead that continued to swell up during her narrow split decision defeat to Weili Zhang in their women’s strawweight title fight at UFC 248 this past weekend. By the end of the fight, she was almost unrecognizable as her forehead had ballooned up massively.

The former champion has since concealed her face on social media. However, on Thursday night, she posted an update showing how her forehead had healed up so far.

You can see it below:

“Healing fast! #warrior,” she wrote in an Instagram story.

“Now my whole face is bruised but there is no more ‘Joanna UFO’. There is no swelling on my forehead,” she told TMZ earlier in the day. “It’s more on my face and my neck – it’s going down its much better you know. I have a very bad ear with lots of blood in it. I have scheduled surgery in Poland with the best plastic surgeon.

“So, on Monday I will have a small, small medical procedure on my ear and then i’ll be ready to rock and roll.”

It will only be a matter of time until Jedrzejczyk is ready to return to action.
