Former UFC strawweight title challenger Claudia Gadelha will hold her upcoming training camp at Luttrell's MMA in Albuquerque, N.M., after parting ways with Nova Uniao.
Sherdog.com confirmed the move on Wednesday with both Gadelha and head trainer Chris Luttrell. Luttrell, an Albuquerque police officer, was the first person to earn a black belt under Greg Jackson. Although he is no longer directly affiliated with Jackson-Wink MMA, many of the prominent gym’s fighters still work with him on occasion. Gadelha confirmed that she will also supplement her training with sparring at Jackson-Wink.
Earlier this month, Combate reported that Gadelha split with Nova Uniao following a dispute with head coach Andre Pederneiras.
