Before Joanna Jedrzejczyk could become UFC strawweight champion, she had to get through Claudia Gadelha. Now, it appears that Gadelha will have a chance for revenge.
Dana White confirmed during Saturday’s UFC 190 post-fight show on Fox Sports 1 that Gadelha will be next in the to face the reigning 115-pound queen. The UFC President did not announce a date for the Jedrzejczyk-Gadelha rematch.
Gadelha earned her shot by handing former World Series of Fighting strawweight ruler Jessica Aguilar her first defeat since 2010.
