Livinha Souza is hungry to fight Ashley Yoder at Saturday night’s UFC 252 in Las Vegas after a long layoff, but had to be patient.
A former Invicta FC strawweight champion — and very outspoken when she’s not locked in a cage with another human being —, Souza went through a rough patch over the past year and so. First, “The Brazilian Gangster” suffered her first loss in the octagon in a disappointing performance versus Brianna Van Buren. Then, a “complicated” back injury forced her to be on the sidelines for way too long.
