Poliana Botelho hopes Syuri Kondo decides to brawl at UFC Chile

Poliana Botelho was victorious in her Octagon debut. This time, she wants to leave an impression.

Botelho fought for the first time under the UFC banner back in October, defeating Pearl Gonzalez via unanimous decision at UFC 216, but it wasn’t the most exciting contest. Now set to return on May 19 against undefeated Syuri Kondo at UFC Chile, Botelho expects an action-packed fight.

”I hope Kondo trades with me,” Botelho told MMA Fighting. “Most strikers I face don’t want to trade with me, but let’s hope she does, and we can put on a beautiful fight.
