Maybe some people think that it's all about the hype, about the fame, but it's not. It's all about being the best. It's all about challenging myself everyday.
Slowly, step-by-step, I will reach my goals and my dreams.
For myself, I'm still little Joanna from the hood - from a small town in Poland, and I'm still having my goals, my dreams.
I was 16, I just wanted to do something in my life. I wanted to be healthy, I wanted to lose some weight and I went for my first training. In the beginning I didn't know what Muay Thai meant. You know? But I liked it so much, and after six months of training I had my first competition in Poland. I won, and after that I knew that I wanted to do it.
Everyone knows I'm very close to my family, my hometown, my homeland.
You know why I'm so confident? Because I am working so hard every day. That's why I am different than the other fighters and my opponents and the challengers. That's why.
Maybe I'm the baddest chick on the planet, maybe I'm the baddest woman in the Octagon, but I'm definitely emotional.
It's MMA. I'm a complete MMA fighter. I expect everything. I'm ready for all of it.
Reebok has consistently shown that fitness is truly demanding.
Before I step in the Octagon, I pray one last time and take a huge deep breath, and then I'm home.
I like to fight on the ground. I'm learning every day. I think I'm good.
I always set my ambitions very high. You want to be the greatest athlete, but I realized that life is not about that. I was a little bit blind.
People used to call me violent, savage.
For me the more important thing is fighting. You know, training, fighting. The sports side. I didn't choose my media life.
People can doubt me, and they'll do that forever, but show me a better, cleaner fighter in the UFC or in general.
Lots of luck to Paige VanZant. I met her a few times. She's very nice girl.
I believe a training plan that involves MMA techniques is a sure way to being fit.
You never talk bad about your teammates, doesn't matter if you like them or not.
I'm a big fan of Conor, and I'm a big fan of Khabib.
I don't like to predict the fights. People can do that. They can predict my fights, but I never do that.
