What was said
"There is no day you can ask Jennifer Goldstein who is here with me my manager and good friend. I talk about I speak about coming back every other day, you know, really. But we have to learn how to live with it, you know. I just want to tell to all of you guys not fighters only but you are more than just an MMA fighter."
The retired UFC champion revealed she battles daily urges to return to fighting, comparing the struggle to addiction. She disclosed that her manager Jennifer Goldstein can confirm these near-daily discussions about a comeback, though Jedrzejczyk acknowledges she would need at least a year of training to avoid embarrassing herself. The hematoma from her legendary UFC 248 fight took 12 weeks to fully heal.
