The Confrontation Unfolds
Describing the altercation, Hill said:
“If there was one thing I wish about this whole incident, I wish I had a GoPro on and people could see the complete insane sht that went down from this lady. This lady just completely flipped her sht. ‘I’m from Poland, I fck you up. I’m not fcking 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 fcking smash your head in, too. I don’t give a fck.’ Now I’m like, she’s threatening me, now she’s threatening my girl. I have not threatened her. I have not raised my voice. All I’ve asked her is, what is the issue? What is going on? I asked her one more time. Can you articulate for me what the issue is? What was said? I told her, ‘You sound retarded.’ Now UFC staff comes, they grab her, they start moving her. Now she’s getting real loud talking about, ‘Just wait, I fck you up, I fck your girl up.’ And I’m like, ‘Yo, if you would have touched my girl, I would have knocked you the fck out, and if you touch my girl, I’m going to knock you the fck out.‘”
Background: A Past Connection
Hill gave further context about the prior history between them:
“This stems from when we were at an event. Now me, my girl, Joanna, her manager, we were all seated at the same table. Everybody’s getting along, there’s absolutely no problems at all. Joanna’s manager is playing this little game. Just to give y’all straight up context, just to let you know, I’m being straight up honest. Her manager, the entire time we’re at this event, is like subliminally trying to drop messages to my girl, like, trying to dry snitch. Bro, I’m real. I’m a very honest and transparent person. My girl already knew this. So she just straight up turns to Joanna and says, ‘You had sex with Jamahal?’ Like, says this to her in front of my girl; which, understandably, could be embarrassing for her, right? Which is something I absolutely never said. ‘I’ tried to sleep with her.”
How the Interaction Began
Hill also explained how their past encounter in New York started:
“So this is from New York. Right? I hit her up. What are you doing? She sends me a video, ‘come to the bar where I’m at.‘ She shares her location with me. I go to the bar, we chill, we have some drinks. I seen the type of attitude she has. It wasn’t really clicking or going nowhere. So it was like, it was what it was. I’m like, cool. I took my ball, and I went home. You know what I mean? I’m gonna take my ball, and I’m gonna go home, because I’m not making shots today. The shot’s not going in today. That’s it, that’s the gist of it. After this, there was no bad blood from this. Whenever I got to the event, I walked up and I addressed her, and I approached her this way. She completely flipped on me. I still, right now, am now being looked at, painted everywhere which way, and all this, I still don’t know why she’s mad. If she can tell anybody why she’s mad, please, truly, let me know.“ via MMAMania
Joanna Jedrzejczyk stepped away from professional fighting in 2022, yet she has been showing up at numerous UFC gatherings since then. Her presence sparked speculation that a return to the octagon might be possible. Fans, however, were hoping for a matchup like Joanna versus Mackenzie Dern, not a tense encounter involving Jamahal Hill’s partner.
Hill has had moments of confrontation outside the cage, although he has never thrown punches in those situations. Despite this, he does not shy away from conflict when it arises. In 2023, an altercation during Thanksgiving week with his brother led to Hill being arrested for alleged domestic violence, marking one of the few times his off-cage actions made headlines.
