Friday at the TUF 20 Finale the UFC will crown it’s first ever woman’s strawweight champion. And a day later, two women will fight to determine the number one contender:
Claudia Gadelha, who meets fellow undefeated prospect Joanna Jedrzejczyk at UFC on FOX 13 on Dec. 13, told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour that the UFC guaranteed that the winner of this bout will fight for the title next.
“Whoever wins that fight, fights for the belt,” Gadelha said.
Gadelha was originally set to be part of The Ultimate Fighter 20 season, but her coach and manager Andre Pederneiras asked the UFC to remove her from the reality show since it would be tough for her to make weight several times in a short amount of time.
Gadelha won her UFC debut in July of this year and sports an undefeated 11-0 record in professional mixed martial arts. Jedrzejczyk? also won her UFC debut in July of this year and is an undefeated 7-0. The winner of course will be 2-0 in the UFC and maintain an undefeated record.
