The leading rumor is that Hill and his wife were talking trash about Jedrzejczyk\u2019s fellow countryman, Jan Blachowicz, who fought to a draw in the pay-per-view (PPV) opener \u2014 but nothing has been confirmed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Whatever the cause, things escalated fast. Hill threatened Jedrzejczyk, saying, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-news\/408528\/video-jamahal-hill-and-joanna-jedrzejczyk-nearly-scrap-ill-knock-you-the-f-k-out\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">I\u2019ll knock you the f\u2014k out<\/a>. If you touch my girl, I\u2019m gonna knock you the f\u2014k out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cYeah? You will?\u201d Jedrzejczyk fired back, before Hill punctuated the moment with: \u201cPeriod.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Security intervened, restraining Jedrzejczyk and separating the two former champions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Jedrzejczyk later posted a video on Instagram addressing the situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI worked so hard to earn my reputation, and I am embarrassed to be in this situation. But when somebody uses my name, falsely, without any basis in truth, I will always stand up for myself, and for that, I do not deserve to be threatened,\u201d Jedrzejczyk said. \u201cI am mindful that I am a strong, capable woman who has the benefit of a lifetime of self-defense training. I have a platform and resources that most women don\u2019t have. So I empathize with the women who are disrespected and threatened, and lack the power and means to stand up for themselves. And to stand up for the truth.\u201d<br \/>She continued: \u201cI expect more from each of us as individuals and as a society, and I certainly expect more from athletes in our sport \u2014 especially former champions. I want to thank the UFC security and staff for their professionalism. I consider this matter closed, and wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Hill has yet to issue a statement, but it\u2019s hard to imagine he stays quiet for long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cJoanna Violence\u201d is taking the high road.
