White: Gadelha won’t get ‘Paul Daley’d’
Dana Whtie: “[Jedrzejczyk] landed a kick, the bell rang and then [Gadelha] hit her with a punch. And then she completely apologized for doing it.”
As the final bell sounded to signal the end of the fight, Claudia Gadelha landed one last punch after the bell on her opponent. This has happened before in the UFC, and Paul Daley was actually fired for it, but according to UFC President Dana White this situation was different:
“People were going crazy on me about that one… Of course, everybody goes back to Daley. The difference is this: When Daley did it to Koscheck, I was in there. I went up to Daley… He didn’t care. He didn’t give a shit. He looked right at me and said he didn’t care. As soon as [Gadelha] did it to her, she reached her hand out and she apologized to her. Those two had a war; they’re in the heat of the battle. [Jedrzejczyk] landed a kick, the bell rang and then [Gadelha] hit her with a punch. And then she completely apologized for doing it.”
