Claudia Gadelha Announces Exit from UFC on ESPN 7 Card Due to Ankle Issues

Claudia Gadelha will not be competing at UFC on ESPN 7 this December.

The Brazilian strawweight announced her withdrawal from a matchup with Cynthia Calvillo via Instagram on Tuesday. It is currently unknown if Calvillo will remain on the card.

“After my last fight, I had to take a break because I broke a finger and I rolled my ankle,” Gadelha said in an Instagram video. “I have a torn ligament and a ruptured tendon, and I took some time off because I had to let it heal; I had to let my body heal and let my injuries heal.
