One night after the UFC crowns their first Women's Strawweight Champion, they'll likely determine the first No. 1 contender in the division.

According to Marc Raimondi from FoxSports.com, the UFC is booking Claudia Gadelha vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk for UFC on Fox 13 in December.

Claudia Gadelha vs. Joanna Jedrzejcyzk is on for the FOX card in Phoenix, per UFC officials. It is not yet being called a title eliminator.

Gadelha made a great impression in her UFC debut in July, defeating Tina Lahdemaki by decision to move her undefeated record to 12-0. She had been in line to fight Carla Esparza in Invicta in December, though she fell ill just before the event and had to pull out.

Now she'll take on Jedrzejczyk, undefeated herself at 7-0. The Polish fighter defeated Juliana Lima in her own UFC debut.

The winner of this fight is more than likely going to face the winner of The Ultimate Fighter 20 Finals, which headlines the TUF 20 Finale the night before UFC on Fox 13. The Fox card will be headlined by a heavyweight bout between Junior dos Santos and Stipe Miocic.
