Could Claudia Gadelha Be More Wrong About VanZant?

Could Claudia Gadelha (2-1 UFC) be wrong in her assumption of Paige Vanzant (3–0 UFC)? Gadelha has recently said that she believes Paige Vanzant is more of a dancer than a fighter as she stated :

"Ah, she’s selling, right? The UFC wants fighters who can sell, who bring money to the organization. She’s pretty, a dancer, completely different from other fighters who are way better prepared physically, right?

"She has said once that she thinks that fighters who are ripped used steroids, but I want to see her say that in two years, when she really becomes a professional fighter. She’s just starting and she’s a dancer, so she won’t have muscle in her body. But, in two years, I want her to answer this question again."


But in her last couple of fights Paige Vanzant has issued a absolute beating to her last couple of opponents that might suggest otherwise. With her one sided beat down over Felice Herrig (1-1 UFC) and then her complete domination of Alex Chambers (1-2 UFC), we MMA fans see no dancing in those fights just pure dominance or are we missing something that's Gadelha as the number one contender and former title contender sees that we don't.

Gadelha is still looking to avenge her loss to current championship belt holder Joanna Jedrzejczck (4-0 UFC) by split decision and possibly sees the up and coming VanZant as a fighter looking to move into her #1 spot. Gadelha was set to get that revenge as she was called to fight Jedrzejczck before having to pull out of the fight due to an injury, setting up the Champion to take on Valerie Letourneau (3-0 UFC) instead. With Vanzant fighting her unofficial spotlight predecessor she could possibly do just that as both her and Namajunas (1-1 UFC) are headlining in a division shaking fight. It could be possible with Jedrzejczck  fighting soon on the same card with Ronda Rousey (10-0 UFC) at UFC 194 there might be a need for a #1 contenders match before the next title shot. And Gadelha might know it will have to come down between her, Vanzant, or Namajunas.
