UFC contender Virna Jandiroba believes that a new Brazilian takeover could be about to happen in the promotion – and she wants to be part of it.
On Saturday night, Virna Jandiroba will attempt to become the latest fighter from Brazil to capture UFC gold when she battles Mackenzie Dern for the strawweight championship. The two will face off in the co-main event of UFC 321, which is set to take place at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.
Virna Jandiroba’s big opportunity comes hot on the heels of Alex Pereira’s title win and Charles Oliveira’s big finish over Mateusz Gamrot, and it also takes place prior to Alexandre Pantoja defending his UFC flyweight championship for the fifth time at UFC 323.
