Joanna Jedrzejczyk’s Surprise Career Move—From Octagon to Stand-Up Comedy
Alright, fight fans, let’s talk about something totally unexpected. You all remember Joanna Jedrzejczyk, right? The former UFC strawweight queen, one of the most dominant female fighters in MMA history? Well, guess what—she’s traded in her gloves for a microphone. No, not for fight commentary. We’re talking stand-up comedy . Yeah, seriously. Joanna freakin’ Jedrzejczyk has been out there telling jokes instead of throwing punches.

So here’s the scoop. She’s been retired from MMA for a few years now, mostly just popping up at UFC events, showing love for the sport. But at the UFC 312 weigh-ins, she dropped a bombshell—she just finished a stand-up comedy tour in Poland. Not a couple of open mic nights, 40 full shows with some of the best comedians in the country. And get this—she performed in front of 240,000 people in total. That’s not some small comedy club gig; that’s rockstar-level touring.
Now, here’s the kicker. When asked what’s harder—fighting in the UFC or doing stand-up—Joanna didn’t even hesitate. She said stand-up is harder . Let that sink in. This is a woman who has gone through brutal five-round wars, taken insane damage, and fought the toughest women on the planet, and yet, she thinks making people laugh is tougher. Why? Because there’s nowhere to hide on stage. No gloves, no takedown defense—just you, a mic, and an audience that might love or hate your jokes.
And before you get too excited, if you don’t speak Polish, you’re probably out of luck. No translated specials, no clips in English—just a whole lot of Polish punchlines that most of us will never understand. But still, it’s pretty wild to think that one of the greatest fighters in women’s MMA history has now ticked off “comedian” on her bucket list.
So what’s next for Joanna? Well, according to her, no more comedy —at least not on a tour level. She said it was an amazing experience but living like a rockstar isn’t really her thing. Does this mean a UFC comeback? Probably not, but hey, in the world of MMA, never say never. One thing’s for sure, though—Joanna Jedrzejczyk is full of surprises.
