Checking in with Virna Jandiroba

Ahead of her headlining clash with Amanda Lemos at UFC on ESPN 60 this Saturday, former Invicta Fighting Championships strawweight champ Virna Jandiroba (20-3, 6-3 UFC) spoke to Sherdog about her preparation for the fight, the path that brought her to her first UFC main event, and what the future might hold.

“I have much pride in my trajectory thus far in MMA,” Jandiroba said. “Since my start in regional fights in Brazil, to Invicta FC, to getting into the UFC, I’ve mostly won my fights, despite the occasional setback. I dealt with two back-to-back injuries more recently.
