Joanna Jedrzejczyk reveals aftermath of brutal UFC 248 fight with Weili Zhang image

Before the fight was even out, many fans were annointing Joanna Jedrzejczyk's scrap with Weili Zhang as one of the all-time greats.

The champ Zhang eventually retained the belt in a razor-thin split decision over the Polish star.

But it was the insane hematoma on Jedrzejczyk's head that caught much of the attention, with the strawweight finishing the fight looking like a completely different person.

Unsurprisingly, both women ended up in hospital next to each other after the brutal bout, with Jedrzejczyk sure to wear the effects for some time.

Never one to keep her fans out of the loop, Jedrzejczyk has posted five times to Instagram since the fight, though he face wasn't visible in any of them

That was until her latest picture, which shows her and her sister out and about in Los Angeles.

Despite wearing a hat and big sunglasses, an enormous bruise is visible virtually all over Jedrzejczyk's face, evidence of last weekend's epic fight.

Adding insult to injury, plenty of viewers, including UFC stars Conor McGregor and Valentina Shevchenko, thought Joanna had done enough to get the win.

Let's hope for her sake, the former champ takes plenty of time to get herself right before even thinking about her next fight - she's certainly earned it!
