Joanna Jedrzejczyk posted a video which showed her face was still black and blue after getting disfigured in her brutal UFC war with Weili Zhang.
Jedrzejczyk endured a bruising 25-minute battle with the UFC strawweight champion Zhang at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on March 7, losing a narrow decision having fought through a bent nose and two hematomas either side of her forehead.
Photos from the fight showed dramatic changes in both fighters' faces and the UFC released slo-mo footage which showed the punches that caused Jedrzejczyk to swell so much she was barely recognizable.
Both fighters were sent to hospital but released as their injuries, while looking horrific, were not deemed serious. Over the weekend, Jedrzejczyk posted an Instagram story showing what her face looked like one week on from UFC 248.
Here's her face:
In the Instagram video, Jedrzejczyk said the coloring on her face was either from a mud mask, or from remaining bruising.
The line below her forehead, for example, is from the facial but the large blue marks under each eye are battle wounds.
"Hello, guys … I made it home, I'm in Poland," Jedrzejczyk said in the video. "I'm happy to be back home. I took a long shower, and unpacked some stuff."
"I'm having a small home spa. It's a mud mask. Of course I'm still having so many bruises on my face, on my chest.
"The swelling went down. I feel better, so we good … we good!"
Jedrzejczyk previously said she had to have a cauliflower ear drained of blood and was scheduled to have plastic surgery in Poland.
Fellow UFC athlete Darren Till said last week that both women deserved $5 million each.
They were instead paid a combined $406,000.
