MMA Junkie reported a few days ago that Claudia Gadelha vs Alexa Grasso has been added to the Jan. 18 UFC show. We now know that this will be UFC 246 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The result of this fight will depend on which Claudia shows up. But she's had so many injuries that I don't know if she's the same fighter that she used to be. In her last fight, she used Mark Henry's keepaway strategy to beat Randa Markos. She may have been fighting conservatively due to a lingering injury. Then she pulled out of a fight due to injury. Plus her endurance has always been an issue. Meanwhile Alexa lost to Carla Esparza by majority decision because when she had the chance to finish Carla she didn't know how to do it. Her coaches were yelling at her but it's their fault that she's a points fighter. So if Claudia is back to being her old self, she should win. But I don't know if she's capable of that anymore.
