Three body locks, three takedowns for Claudia. Round winners, but Claudia better hope they get easier or she'll gas.

Love this fight. I've maintained all along that Gadelha won the first fight. I love Joanna, but it's awesome to have a foil for her.

Two rounds to zip for the challenger. Wondering what the championship rounds are going to look like, this has been a grind-fest. #TUFFinale

Gadelha may be fading. This could get interesting in a hurry. #TUFFinale

Can Gadelha survive the next 10 minutes? She looks completely gassed out #TUFFinale

Worth remembering, Joanna Violence is just four years into her pro career. Her level of resiliency and calmness under pressure is insane.

Claudio Gadelha being gassed doesn't surprise me being from Nova Uniao.
