Claudia Gadelha is not worried about Joanna Jedrzejczyk’s accusations as she revealed she actually asked USADA to be tested before their rematch at the TUF 23 Finale.
Claudia Gadelha is not worried at all about Joanna Jedrzejczyk’s accusations of performance enhancing drugs use. In fact, as Gadelha told Combate, she actually asked the USADA to be tested, because she knows she is not taking anything.
“I have always been tested and never got caught. I’m certain I’m clean. The time I spent in Las Vegas (shooting The Ultimate Fighter 23), I kept asking the USADA people to test me. I really want to be tested.”
In her last outing, Gadelha (13-1)defeated Jessica Aguilar by unanimous decision at UFC 190. Before that, she lost a close split decision to the Jedrzejczyk in December 2014. Jedrzejczyk (11-0), in the meantime, has remained undefeated since their first encounter, with wins over the likes of Carla Esparza, Jessica Penne and Valerie Letorneau in 2015.
The pair will now rematch in the main event of the TUF 23 Finale, that goes down on July 8, in Las Vegas.
