Claudia Gadelha: ‘I killed my body’ for title fight with Joanna Jedrzejczyk

Heading into her co-main event fight against Karolina Kowalkiewicz at UFC 212 on Saturday night, Claudia Gadelha had just two losses on her record. Both came against current strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk.

That means a return fight against Jedrzejczyk is going to be tough to come by, even if Gadelha did score a first round submission victory over Kowalkiewicz (rear-naked choke).

So where does the 28-year old Brazilian stack up after winning her fourth fight in the UFC?

“I consider myself the best fighter in the division,” Gadelha said at the UFC 212 post-fight press conference.
