Tina Lahdemaki (5-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) came up short in her UFC debut, but she performed much better than many expected. Now she’s hoping to a second shot on a fight card a little closer to home when the UFC returns to Stockholm on Oct. 4. “I’m hoping, praying and doing everything I can to get on that card,” Lahdemaki told MMAjunkie. “I’m already training hard so that if Stockholm happens, I will be ready for that. Getting on that card would be another chance for me to prove myself and to get that victory I didn’t get the last time.

ATLANTIC CITY – Just three short years ago, UFC President Dana White infamously claimed women would “never” fight in his promotion’s famed octagon. However, with UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey now firmly entrenched as one of the biggest superstars in all of MMA, the organization welcomes a second women’s division to its ranks on Wednesday. “I always dreamed of fighting in the UFC, but it was so hard to think of the women’s division in the UFC,” Claudia Gadelha told MMAjunkie. “But they opened the door for us, and I’m very happy to be opening the strawweight division.” Brazilian prospect Gadelha (11-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) meets fellow undefeated strawweight Tina Lahdemaki (5-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) in the very first fight of Wednesday’s “UFC Fight Night 45: Cerrone vs. Miller” event, which takes place at Revel Casino Hotel in Atlantic City.
