Claudia Gadelha is in some shape ahead of what should be another crack at the straw-weight title.

The Brazilian is hoping to get a third shot at champion Joanna Jędrzejczyk by finishing her Polish compatriot Karolina Kowalkiewicz at UFC 212. The highly anticipated fight is just below the UFC featherweight title unification bout between Jose Aldo and Max Holloway and takes place in Rio de Janeiro this July.Gadelha is coming off a win over Courtney Casey last November and knows a dominant performance over the tough Pole will put her right back in the title picture. Five weeks out for the co-main event bout, Gadelha looks to be in the shape of her life. https://www.instagram.com/p/BTUf__agjIa/?taken-by=claudiagadelhaufc&hl=en The 28-year-old shared a picture of herself, this evening, and appears to be in peak fighting condition. Incredibly, by Gadelha's reckoning, she still needs to shed 20 more pounds before she can make straw-weight of 115lbs. https://twitter.com/ClaudiaGadelha_/status/858082436525293569 Five weeks to go. 20 pounds. We've no doubt she'll make it, and keep us posted all the while.
