Following her victory over Valerie Letourneau, UFC strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk said she thought she broke her hand during the fight at UFC 193 in Melbourne, Australia. She was right.
Jedrzejczyk’s manager, Tiago Okamura, verified the champ’s broken hand to MMAfighting.com on Sunday, adding that she would once again need to undergo surgery.
This would be the champs 2nd injury this year. Jedrzejczyk broke her thumb in her first title defense against Jessica Penne this past July.
There was no specific timeline given for Jedrzejczyk’s recovery, but she returned from the broken thumb to defend her belt against Letourneau in less than five months. So, hopefully, she won’t be sidelined for long. We would like to wish the champ a speedy recovery.
