Jedrzejczyk V Gadelha II: How it will go down

Polish striker Joanna Jedrzejczyk defends her UFC Women's Strawweight Championship against Brazilian Claudia Gadelha at The Ultimate Fighter finale during the biggest week of UFC since it's inaugural event. Gadelha and Jedrzejczyk meet for the second time with Joanna coming away with a split decision victory in a close fight in 2014. Jedrzejczyk has arguably the best hands in the entire UFC, let alone the women's divisions.Joanna has finished 2 out of 3 previous fights via punches against Jessica Penne and Carla Esparza. It's a fantastic, stylistic match up with Gadelha owning the ground with her black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and if she manages to take this fight to the ground, she will be sure to throw up many submission attempts. Joanna is the only women to beat Cláudia in her MMA career with the Brazilian holding a 13-1 record in mixed martial arts with the majority of her wins coming via submission.

Joanna takes this fight for me, with her superior striking likely to give her another points victory over nemesis Gadelha. A likely rematch with Carla Esparza or a dream fight with Rose 'Thug' Namajunas looks to be on the cards for Jedrzejczyk if she pulls it out of the bag.
