‘Healthier’ as a flyweight, Poliana Botelho is down to fight once a month for the UFC

Poliana Botelho is “super excited” to enter the cage Saturday and test her skills against Gillian Robertson in Abu Dhabi. If all goes right for the Nova Uniao talent, UFC Fight Island 6 will be the start of a busy schedule in the octagon.

Away from the cage since an April victory over Lauren Mueller which marked her return to flyweight after a trio of strawweight bouts in the company, Botelho wants to be booked more frequently now that she has less weight to cut before fights.

“[Flyweight] is healthier for me given my body structure,” Botelho said in an interview with MMA Fighting.
