Jedrzejczyk’s excited to coach TUF 23 and defeat Gadelha again

UFC women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk will be a head coach on the 23rd season of the UFC’s flagship reality series, The Ultimate Fighter, airing on FOX Sports 1 beginning on April 20. This season she will coach light heavyweight fighters and women’s strawweights opposite Claudia Gadelha.

On July 8 in Las Vegas, Jedrzejczyk will look to defend her title in a rematch against Gadelha. In their first meeting, Jedrzejczyk took a split decision over the Brazilian fighter, handing her the first loss of her professional career.

Renowned grappler and MMA fighter Robert Drysdale has been enlisted to assist Jedrzejczyk on TUF 23. He discusses her work ethic, talks coaching alongside of her, and explains why she’ll remain at the top of the division for some time.
