[@blankname3620]

She has better English than Nate Diaz

[@ryang9973]

Aaron Cooney Cooney has a more American accent the Mackenzie

[@TheNICZO]

[@gerrycruz2784]

Aaron Cooney Cooney lmao true

[@IronReef77]

lmaao I love the internet sometimes

[@Stankonia3k]

I laughed out loud 😆

[@serialchiler]

Speaks better English than Mackenzie Dern

[@Arnell_Long]

And Stipe 😅

[@xSuperAntiBan]

serialchiler and Khalibib 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@brpbrrrpvrrp]

Hahahah!

[@Shardonizer]

And sounds manlier than Anderson Silva.

[@tiniguar1793]

serialchiler her English is better than Fabricio Werdum

[@sebastianmartin4613]

Claudia's english has grown leaps and bounds. Impressive

[@rohanpol3723]

Especially after TUF

[@Arnell_Long]

Damn, her English is getting much more fluid. I can understand her more than I do Stipe.😅

[@ash_xavier9977]

Doesn’t he speak perfect English ?

[@sonnydortmund1513]

Arnell Long BAHAHAHAHAHAHA 😂

[@JAYfromTHEworld]

Celeste J Yes he does but his voice is soo deep and he has the typical American accent if you know what I mean, dont know how to explain

[@JAYfromTHEworld]

Arnell Long true😂

[@woofdog3746]

Stipe speaks in testosterone language

[@RonnyB0i]

Reminds me of Letty from The Fast and Furious movies

[@The_Isaiahnator]

Haha, they have the same monotone voice.

[@MacStatic]

Ronny Pen Agreed👌🏼

[@samoanstrongmanafa5650]

Ronny Pen omg she does

[@nolackin60617]

Letttyyyyy!!!!

[@quoconut5788]

Finally someone said it

[@smoggysmokes9321]

She’s banging and has perfect teeth as well.

[@jeremiaha5167]

Smoggy Smokes - Brazilian girls have incredible teeth and perfect smiles. I can usually tell a Brazilian gitls from other south Americans by their smiles. (Also "jewelry" and clothing)

[@NoahCanFB]

Smoggy Smokes pretty sure she got those done. Not her real teeth

[@theDavidChannel1]

yea those teeth are a little too perfect looking to be real IMO...probably got them capped or veneers...

[@teabag4046]

veneers brah

[@chanevazquez3046]

Shes looks like my brother

[@big_mike_nyc]

God damn I love this woman!!!

[@TorresinhoLFC]

The most perfect smile i've ever seen gawd

[@harrysher7329]

And her swimsuit pics to go with dat bro 👌

[@Trevlee74]

Hey Brazil, we’ll keep Claudia, and you can have Mackenzie Dern. Deal?!

[@gcoffey223]

Trevor H As a member of the American Delegation of Race and Nationality I second this

[@nelsonlorenzo6424]

No

[@Enterthemind1]

lol

[@melvinmedina1273]

Claudia Gadelha is the true epitome of perfection. :)

[@vhyles]

tbh she's beautiful, and that cannot be said about many women w/o makeup

[@LonDonTaylor.]

Vilimir Stoynev I just wrote the same thing. I'm a simple man who appreciates natural beauty

[@arizonatea3734]

Thiccccccc as f... too she's heaven on earth.

[@whacklp6120]

Definitely not in MMA *:D*

[@Nautilus1972]

Schwing!

[@mandyrose9540]

Vilimir Stoynev She has make up on lmfao. Should of went to specsavers

[@niyazzamanov957]

She improved her English actually!

[@DividedWeAllFall]

She is incredible 😍

[@damianstarks3338]

Freedom Isn't Free can say that again.

[@The_Isaiahnator]

LOL, this is Joanna's _third_ past opponent to say she's not a good person. The other two were Jessica and Karolina.

[@jakesivilla9321]

The Isaiahnator I mean, is there anybody at all who has said Joanna is a good person? You don’t see many fighters trashing other fighters they’ve lost to. Probably means something if Joanna’s opponents do.

[@EVO6-]

Jake Sivilla Chad Mendes did that, I've never seen him called a bad person

[@sanshinron]

Well, Valerie Letourneau said the opposite, but she's actually training with Joanna now, and the girls bashing JJ don't know her at all. I don't see Claudia going to hospitals and helping children either, which is something Joanna does all the time. Hmmm, who should we believe...?

[@aroyals339]

i bet even Joanna's parents are glad Rose is champ

[@The_Isaiahnator]

Haha! AP, himself, graces me by commenting on my thread! I should've known you would come to Joanna's defense. 😂🤣

[@usernotfound904]

She's so fine

[@scottdurst6701]

She's dangerous, classy and super cute!

[@STFUppercut69]

Erica Silva looking good.

[@caminhodaslutas]

haaahahahahahahahaahaha

[@swaglad9728]

ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ I can't unsee that now 😂😂😂

[@MrNegativity]

Cutie pie

[@christianjmerasty2658]

MrNegativity creampie

[@AlwaysBonpoint]

Cherry or chocolate creampie?

[@christianjmerasty2658]

AlwaysBonpoint both

[@AlwaysBonpoint]

Christian J Merasty Nice👌

[@chefboy82]

She so cute 😍

[@arigilos8552]

There are some hella creepy people in the comment section

[@TakingSouls4free]

3:48 "Can't wait to put our hands in each other"

[@johnnystirstick2284]

Hottest girl fighter in MMA

[@LonDonTaylor.]

Johnny Stirstick I've said it for 3 years now.. She has natural beauty without make-up

[@ryanhunter7557]

shes prettier then the ring girls

[@jbitts]

2nd, Cat Zingano #1

[@Juicelee777ssj]

michelle waterson is and has always been a winner in my book

[@vaterpolistzg]

Valentina Shevchenko is numero uno

[@amirtaj4323]

5:00 "she didn't do a good job being a champion" She had lots of title defences made it to tons of big fight cards and basically made the strawweight division legit, if that's not being a good champion I don't know what is.

[@multiplemike5021]

I think what she meant is that she doesn't feel Jedrzejczyk was a good role model for a champion. There are a lot of backstage things between them we will never know as fans.

[@mcfly531]

Claudia and Rose would be nice. I don't mean in the Octagon ;)

[@davidgarcia9308]

Rose was pretty when she had long hair, not digging the short hair!

[@Rastamike808]

Claudia has always been a little hottie

[@7.62Ak]

Left in a “AMBALANCE” had me rollin 😂😂

[@Y2k_Ba3]

Shes so sweet and such a badass. Love this chick.

[@richardesquibel4222]

Is it me! or her English got better. anyways she fine!😳💞

[@MCShvabo]

You are right.But she lives in the U.S: so it makes sense.

[@leemarcelino7357]

She can be in Hollywood. 😇🙏

[@logician008]

3:45 "I know we can't wait to put our hands in each other." Lol.

[@MrImaghost]

That's a deep voice for a little girl. She was on the "Mexican Meat" before for sure, she's still cute tho.

[@mattfoley4749]

Anna var

[@MackV99]

Arizona Animal don’t know what you guys see in her...

[@rolandhunt7542]

Sam Sim nope. She's 5'4 115 most guys would destroy her just by throwing haymakers.

[@bowenbottorff1283]

matt foley Lol I think I'm the only that got this. She's just been trenning hard for this fight

[@MackV99]

Shane Berry even a 150+ lbs makes can.

[@MAKJAMSENTERTAINMENT]

she's perfect, i could cry.

[@Jeremyramone]

Thanks mma sbn, Claudia is so cool and talented

[@bradywright0408]

Of course she’s happy Joanna isn’t the champ. She now has a chance at a title shot

[@Malouco]

Brady Wright how do u say? The second fight I feel this chick won and the first one was close. Rose beat Joana easy and the second one she out struck her. Rose is better.

[@TheJking85]

Brady Wright And she too will lose to Thug Rose.

[@madzarro6540]

Larry Medina tf u talkin about.. I'm not Jj fan but she clearly destroyed Gadelha in those fights

[@RationalPolice]

Mad ZaRro most people had Claudia winning the first fight

[@clarksmart2440]

Brady Wright Andrede is still around.

[@arborvitae1072]

The reversed Mackenzie Dern

[@ShowtimeThaRaptor]

I love you Claudia!!!

[@C_lawAFC]

Claudia "I've never touched TRT in my life" Gadelha

[@mattfoley4749]

McKenzie dern is watching this to steal verbage

[@FREEDOMFORUKRAINE2024]

Still cant believe whe didnt get to see her against Grasso, Battle Of The Beauties 😭

[@Legends]

Her English gotten much better over the years especially after moving to the US

[@StaminaMC]

You and me both, Claudia. 😄

[@GeorgeCopperfield]

Love the way she says ambulance

[@johnsurf509]

She seems more relaxed.

[@koalatea3979]

They can't wait to put their hands in each other o.O 3:48

[@arinkromas]

Claudia's English is improving a lot

[@williamkirkpatrick624]

So much respect for her. She is such a professional in the game. If she could can just her hands to work in her favor I think that is final piece to her game.

[@laurencewong9168]

Claudia is clever and talented, congrats.

[@crixo3483]

love Claudia

[@zabeast8388]

9/11 Look into it.

[@christianjmerasty2658]

xfg theres just so much fraud when you look into it.

[@dzmitry2387]

investigate 311

[@ChicagoMike85]

xfg 9/11 was done by Mossad to drag America into war and for insurance fraud. Look into the “dancing Israelis” they were Israeli spies who were arrested right after 9/11 for dancing in celebration after 9/11.

[@dzmitry2387]

no fortnite did 911

[@ChicagoMike85]

Dzmitry Funk shut up moron. Don’t speak when grown folks are talking. Sit back and learn something

[@matilaino2453]

A real woman

[@greggardner5015]

She also said rose had no choice against Joanna ...

[@chonchetas]

Her voice.. starting to sound like that other dude.. Chris Cyborg.

[@LonDonTaylor.]

Love this bird..

[@MTA98]

The birds are sucking off the boys

[@r33z35]

Claudia's English has improved a lot! Would like to see her as straweight champion!

[@jons2936]

Her English has definitely improved. Very impressive!

[@scottr640]

"We cant wait to put our hands in each other"

[@RASTANAUT]

That sexy deep voice reminds me of Dr. Girlfriend from the Venture Bros.

[@stevena9231]

Her English is really good now shes so pretty.

[@10dev785]

she should be a mma model......

[@gigisoglamorousipeeglitter7466]

rshadio Rachael Ostovich stomps her in looks.

[@bartonpercival3216]

She's too short to be a model

[@ThousanWhite]

YEah JJ was a big mean bully on the TUF show

[@hunterratchford1925]

What did JJ do that was so bad besides trash talking? I am curious because UFC fighters trash talk all the time

[@jaredsmallbone6695]

Damn some of those South American women are gorgeous

[@MayorMcCheese78]

I'm moving to Vegas just for her

[@eduardomontalvo6817]

maa wifee - borat

[@2beers248]

[@wardyk1986]

I am a Polish fan but I love you Claudia :) You told the truth about her

[@giuliomalagoli1301]

Claudia’s got a really nice voice

[@miketreker944]

Tough yet elegant.

[@aky19832001]

Claudia's English has improved drastically, shes fluent. As though she stole Derns ability to speak english. What a crazy us that Dern also has an accent when she speaks Brazilian, it's not like super fluent.

[@MsMarlysRae]

Oh! I have followed you, Ariel and patiently listened to every word of your podcasts. Ouch..."Don't paint me with that brush"??? That is still stinging.

[@miguelarmando4546]

Claudia I love you! Such a beautiful smile and your English is perfect!

[@petkokapitan3958]

She love the sound of slots ;) sweet place!

[@alvarogines6788]

Something is wrong with the tone of voice of brazilian ladies

[@travismcclure4983]

She is mad gorgeous oh my lawd!!!

[@superfly19751]

Love this girl

[@ricardoarona9387]

Better English and more smoothly than Nate Diaz indeed

[@nicholassiple7838]

She is easily one of the most talented all around fighters at 115 and probably the most attractive, could be the face of womens mma being billingual is a plus for marketing

[@baffledsquirrel2122]

Haha I’m Canadian don’t Paint me with the brush! 😂 I agree man lol 🇨🇦

[@SilviaSO_]

She’s such a natural pretty

[@soufianehamdaoui5407]

I love this woman

[@jasonmiller5428]

To the guy interviewing her "what brush are u referring to "?

[@HeroAndLegend]

Bad Ass Woman!

[@babasemka]

[@kimjunglaursen6219]

[@mattfoley4749]

[@ChicagoMike85]

matt foley sorry to hear. 🇺🇸

[@lour58]

What a beautiful woman.

[@dawoodniazi3592]

I love your voice 😘

[@user-xz9fw6lk3p]

I remember back when the 2 first fought between Joanna and Claudia, Claudia had little English now she is basically a US citizen.

[@magnificent7238]

She’s so beautiful.. god damn! ❤️❤️

[@aliasalex8499]

For a professional boxer , i find her nose perfect , her smile and teeth are awesome . She is very good looking.

[@brandenbarnett6093]

I liked Joanna at first, but nasty attitude in and out of octagon. This lady seems very humble

[@rrajeevy]

Wow her English has gotten way better. Good for her. Hopefully she gets back on a win streak
