This past weekend, in the co-main event of UFC 212, former UFC strawweight title challengers Claudia Gadelha and Karolina Kowalkiewicz stepped into the Octagon for a pivotal scrap that saw Gadelha pick up an early 1st round submission win.<\/a><\/p>\n

The win was a particularly impressive one for Gadelha, who is now on a 2-fight win streak following her TUF Finale loss to Joanna Jedrzejczyk<\/a> in a failed bid for the women’s strawweight title nearly a year ago.<\/p>\n

On the heels of the loss, Kowalkiewicz broke her silence on social media this week:<\/p>\n
