Zhang Weili Sent Joanna Jedrzejczyk into Retirement With a Spinning Backfist KO

It appears as if Joanna Jedrzejczyk entered the octagon at UFC 275 on Saturday night with a win or call it quits mentality.  Unfortunately for fans of hers she took the loss.

Zhang Weili caught Jedrzejczyk with a spinning backfist that left her facedown on the canvas.  It ended Jedrzejczyk's night and her career.

You hate to see fighters, especially former champs, end their career with a devastating loss, but they rarely go out on top.  They tend to hang on just a little too long.
