Claudia Gadelha earned a shot at the UFC title with a win over Jessica Aguilar, and she hopes to be back inside the Octagon early next year.
The Nova Uniao strawweight, who lost to Joanna Jedrzejczyk via split decision in 2014, injured her left hand during her UFC 190 win over former WSOF champion Aguilar on Aug. 1 in Rio de Janeiro, but is already back to training.
"I returned to training today, even though I can’t use my left hand," Gadelha told MMAFighting.com on Thursday. "I will train boxing using my right hand, work my legs, do some physical training, everything but use my left hand.
