Claudia Gadelha wants nothing more than a rematch with current UFC Women's Strawweight Champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk, and after her highly impressive win over Jessica Aguilar at UFC 190, she's going to get it.
Gadelha talked about that matchup after her win, telling reporters in Brazil that she's prepared for a five round battle.
"I want that fight," Gadelha said (via MMAJunkie.com). "I want to fight Joanna. And I'm sure she wants [it] too because – I can't even talk about the last fight. So, we need to fight again and [make it] clear who's the best strawweight on the planet.
"You guys just saw I fought three rounds with no problems. I'm ready for five rounds. I'll fight her anywhere. I just want to fight her."
Penick's Analysis: Gadelha looked absolutely fantastic in that fight. She was fast, her striking was active and accurate, and she never let up the pressure. That's very much the style that Jedrzejczyk employs, and it's going to be a fantastic matchup with both of them getting five rounds in which to work.
