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.
