Claudia Gadelha: UFC matchmaker Sean Shelby told me ‘I won’t Miesha Tate you’

SAO PAULO -- Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Valerie Letourneau title fight is booked for next week’s UFC 193 in Australia, and it looks like top strawweight Claudia Gadelha will get the next shot at the title.

The Nova Uniao fighter revealed during UFC Fight Night 77 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, that she will be in Australia to watch the championship clash, and will be announced as the next challenger.

"I wanted to fight this year, but I decided to wait because the UFC wants me to fight in February," Gadelha told the media.
