Gadelha on the fight’s key moment
“I’ve been in this game for so long. I’ve switched camps and transitioned from a brawler to an MMA fighter. I love this and want to keep doing it. Everything I did today is new to me. I may not have looked the fastest, but I tried my best. I’m so happy to win tonight. I showed a smart Claudia and that I have cardio to do this all day. I worked a lot of striking for this fight and I wanted to try it out.”
