A nation that not long ago stood at the forefront of mixed martial arts no longer holds any UFC championship belts.
Brazil lost its last standing title last night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena when Rafael dos Anjos fell victim to an upset by Eddie Alvarez. Claudia Gadelha can earn Brazil a belt back tonight at the same building in the main event of “The Ultimate Fighter” 23 finale against Joanna Jedrzejczyk.
Poland’s Jedrzejczyk has sat atop the women’s strawweight division since knocking out inaugural champion Carla Esparza at UFC 185 last year, going on to defend the belt against Jessica Penne and Valerie Letourneau.
