Joanna Jedrzejczyk is scheduled to take on Weili Zhang at UFC 248. The fight will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Joanna posted an image on her Instagram story which showed her wearing a chemical protective mask next to Zhang.

Meanwhile, Weili Zhang didn’t take the joke lightly. She took to Instagram where she said that the joke was out of line.

To make fun of tragedy is a true sign of ones character. People are dying, someones father, someones mother, someones child. Say what you want about me if it makes you feel stronger but do not joke about what’s happening here. I wish you good health until March 7th. I will see you soon,” Zhang posted on Instagram.

Jedrzejczyk later took to Instagram where she posted an apology video.

Hey champ. Hey Weili. So sorry to make you feel bad, but I would never make fun of people with an illness or virus. I didn’t want you to get offended, but I just made fun of the funny internet meme. So, so sorry, but still, I will see you March 7th and don’t get emotional, OK?Joanna posted on her Instagram story.
