The news had been released by Gadelha herself through a post on social media, which was deleted shortly afterwards. “Guys, I unfortunately have to announce my departure from the April 11th card in Poland. I had a muscle contracture in my back during wrestling training and it makes it really painful to move my neck or arms. I apologize to the fans who were looking forward to this fight. I hope to fight Aisling Daly soon so I can honor Brazil against Ireland, as she is talking a lot of nonsense, which I don't even know, partner Conor McGregor”, the deleted text said. Later, however, the Brazilian's cut was confirmed by the North American website “MMA Fighting”.
So far, the Ultimate organization has not announced Claudinha's replacement for the Polish event. With the Brazilian's departure, it is most likely that, in case of victory in her next fight, the Scottish Joanne calderwood be the next challenger for the belt, now in possession of Joanna Jedrzejczyk. Coincidentally, Calderwood also works in UFC Poland, against Maryna moroz, in the fight that opens the main card of the night.
At 26, Claudinha gadelha has a professional record of 12 wins and one loss, precisely the disputed setback for Joanna Jedrzejczyk in his most recent appearance in the octagon.
