History was made this past month with the official inception of the UFC women’s strawweight division. Decorated BJJ black belt Claudia “Claudinha” Gadelha and Polish striking sensation Joanna Jędrzejczyk both picked up impressive decision victories in their respective 115-pound Octagon debuts.
Also in July, UFC Middleweight Champion “All-American” Chris Weidman retained his title with a five-round win over ex-champ Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida at UFC 175, and UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey knocked out Alexis “Ally-Gator” Davis in just 16 seconds.
