Joanna Jedrzejczyk has apologized to Weili Zhang for her coronavirus joke.

Jedrzejczyk is set to challenge Zhang for her women’s strawweight title in the co-main event of UFC 248 on March 7 in Las Vegas. Amid the recent coronavirus outbreak that originated in China, Jedrzejczyk recently reposted a meme that had her wearing a gas mask next to Zhang.

Zhang did not take kindly to it, however. She questioned the former champion’s character and wished her good health until they meet.

“To make fun of tragedy is a true sign of ones character. People are dying, someones father, someones mother, someones child. Say what you want about me if it makes you feel stronger but do not joke about what’s happening here. I wish you good health until March 7th. I will see you soon.”

Jedrzejczyk has now responded in her Instagram story by apologizing to Zhang but maintaining she was laughing at the meme, not the situation in China.

However, she also promised to see Zhang at UFC 248 and advised her not to get emotional.

“Hey champ. Hey Weili,” she said (via MMA Junkie). “I’m so sorry to make you feel bad, but I’d never make fun of sick people or a virus. I didn’t want you to get offended.

“I just made fun of the funny internet meme. So, so sorry, but still, I’ll see you March 7. Don’t get emotional, OK?”

Zhang has not responded to her apology but one thing is for sure — this title fight got a little more heated.

Former UFC women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk is preparing to challenge for the 115-pound title once again.

Coming off a victory over Michelle Waterson in Tampa, Jedrzejczyk will now attempt to get back on top of the UFC strawweight mountain by toppling newly-crowned Chinese champion Weili Zhang. Jedrzejczyk looked phenomenal against Waterson, bouncing back from a failed flyweight title bid against Valentina Shevchenko.

Speaking to the “UFC Unfiltered” podcast, Jedrzejczyk revealed that her return to form could be due to the fact that she’s single again after dealing with turmoil in her previous relationship. (H/T MMA Fighting)

“Life of a single [woman],” Jedrzejczyk said. “People in Poland know more, but people in the states and worldwide, they don’t know much about my private life. The last two years were pretty difficult for me. It was a rough time, and I feel like 2019 is a special year, so I can’t wait for 2020.”

Jedrzejczyk revealed that her ex-fiance cheated on her, and the pair split shortly before her fight with Rose Namajunas. This led to a string of issues that Jedrzejczyk had to deal with over the next several months.

“I broke up with my fiance, and we broke up before my first fight with Rose Namajunas, and this terrible weight cut happened, and I broke up again,” Jedrzejczyk said. “This year I found out that my [previous Polish] manager messed up my money, and then I found out that my fiance was cheating on me.

“That girl called me; I think that she was afraid that I was going to beat her up so badly, but I was like, ‘No, I’m kidding.’ I just want to show to people and tell people that there’s always something going on in our lives. It doesn’t matter who you are. If your private life is not going in the right direction, you’re not going to be successful in the sport, or in the business.”

Now, Jedrzejczyk will face off against Zhang at UFC 248 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on March 7.
