1. Claudia Gadelha Throws A Punch Well After The Bell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iSemxwNkAE This one is a cheap shot, Hats off to Joanna Jdrzejczyk for handling it well. Not only did Claudia Gadelha throw a late punch after the end of the third round of her fight against Jdrzejczyk, she made a bizarre excuse after - she couldn't hear it. Despite the ref standing between her and her opponent! This was an exciting back and forth fight, and both women were undefeated entering the night. Come the end of the third, they were still trading blows, and when the bell rang, the ref immediately jumped in to split them up. Gadelha practically had to reach around him to get one last punch in, then almost immediately motioned as if she hadn't heard the bell. What did she think the ref was in there for? Joanna Jdrzejczyk took the high road on it, and actually thanked her opponent after, stating she was one of the best in the world. In short, it was another bizarre incident in a bizarre night.
