Jedrzejczyk and Gadelha will get to renew acquaintances on Jan. 2. | Dave Mandel/Sherdog.com
Joanna Jedrzejczyk will likely defend her strawweight crown against Claudia Gadelha in the UFC 195 co-headliner.
UFC 195 takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Jan. 2 and is headlined by a women’s bantamweight title clash between Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm.
Jedrzejczyk captured the 115-pound strap at UFC 185 in March, as she dominated Carla Esparza en route to a second-round knockout victory. The Polish fighter made her first defense on June 20, stopping Jessica Penne via third-round technical knockout.
The loss to Jedrzejczyk was Gadelha’s lone defeat in 13 professional appearances. The Brazilian is 2-1 in the UFC, with triumphs over Aguilar, the former WSOF champ, and Tina Lahdemaki. Gadelha has finished eight of her 13 triumphs inside the distance.
