Former title challenger Claudia Gadelha finally put together consecutive UFC victories for the first time in her career when she defeated Karolina Kowalkiewicz on home turf in today’s UFC 212 pay-per-view co-main event in Rio de Janeiro.
After falling short of the gold in July, Gadelha has rebounded with back-to-back wins. The first-round submission of another former title challenger in Kowalkiewicz (10-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) at Jeunesse Arena was the most impressive of her UFC tenure and put her back in position to start arguing for another crack at the belt.
