"There were other people involved and I didn't do any I was like no no no I I don't want to speak about I know I know the true. I know that this person like created this bad situation you know nothing against Jamahal Hill. I was never interested in him, you know. I have one rule. I would never date a UFC fighter."
Jedrzejczyk addressed controversy involving UFC light heavyweight Jamahal Hill for the first time, suggesting a third party close to Hill manufactured the situation. She maintained her strict policy against dating UFC fighters and expressed frustration that the incident threatened her hard-earned reputation, stating she doesn't play games and was never romantically interested in Hill.
