Claudia Gadelha stunned she could be passed over for shot at Joanna Jedrzejczyk

Claudia Gadelha was promised a shot at the UFC strawweight title after defeating Jessica Aguilar at UFC 190 on Aug. 1, but recent reports indicated that Valerie Letourneau could get the next shot at champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk.

According to Yahoo’s Kevin Iole, the promotion considered booking Jedrzejczyk vs. Letourneau for UFC 193 when welterweight champion Robbie Lawler was forced out of the Nov. 14 card in Australia.

Gadelha was surprised to hear the news.

"I don’t know anything about this," Gadelha told MMAFighting.
