When the UFC’s strawweight division needed a rivalry, it was Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Claudia Gadelha stepping to the forefront.
The ladies first met back when both were vying to become division champion, with Jedrzejczyk scoring a razor-close split decision.
After Jedrezejczyk went on to claim the title, Gadelha worked her way into the role of No. 1 contender. The two squared off this past July as part of International Fight Week, with “Joanna Champion” once again getting her hand raised.
Next Saturday night, Jedrzejczyk defends her title at UFC 205 against Karolina Kowalkiewicz from Madison Square Garden in New York City.
