RIO DE JANEIRO -- Is Claudia Gadelha the most logical choice for Joanna Jedrzejczyk’s first UFC title defense?
Gadelha battled Jedrzejczyk for three rounds in December, suffering her first professional loss in a close and controversial split decision. The Nova Uniao strawweight hopes to return to training in late May after pulling out of a UFN 64 bout with Aisling Daly due to a back injury, and wants a rematch with the champion.
"After everything that happened, the loss being so controversial… I still feel I’m undefeated. I know I didn’t lose that fight," Gadelha told journalists in Brazil.
