We hit two big projects (new contacts, commercial campaigns with new partners).  #teamjoanna keeps on building the legacy. There is much more to come.  Can’t wait to share the results soon. Happy to close all my business and sponsorship obligations, and fly back to @americantopteam in Florida on Saturday. Are you team Joanna?

It would be very interesting to see the UFC planning out Jedrzejczyk’s return, who do you think can potentially challenge her the best in her comeback?
