TORONTO – UFC women’s strawweight Nina Ansaroff doesn’t take kindly to Claudia Gadelha ’s insinuation that she’s not on her level. “She’s going to find out there’s levels to this, too,” Ansaroff replied after being told of Gadelha’s comments prior to their meeting Saturday at UFC 231. “I’ve been striking since I was five years old. I don’t think she’s ever seen the kind of striking I have. Watching it is one thing and being in front of it is another.” The thing is, Gadelha (16-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) has been in front of it. The two trained together five years ago at MMA Masters, and Gadelha came away with the impression that Ansaroff (8-5 MMA, 2-2 UFC) was only a striker and not a complete MMA fighter.
