Virna Jandiroba will attempt to win her first MMA title outside of Brazil when she faces Mizuki Inoue for the vacant strawweight belt at Invicta FC 28 in Salt Lake City on March 24, and capturing the gold would have a huge meaning for her.
Jandiroba has campaigned for a deal with the UFC for years, calling out UFC president Dana White in every single one of her post-fight interviews in Brazil, but a contract with Invicta FC came first.
If she’s successful in her attempt to defeat Inoue in the main event of Saturday’s Invicta FC card, the unbeaten talent expects to be closer to the Octagon.
