After suffering her last loss to Amanda Ribas back in 2021, UFC Strawweight dark horse Virna Jandiroba has quietly positioned herself towards title contention. Over the past two years, the Brazilian standout has won three straight, which includes wins over strong divisional opposition in Angela Hill, Marina Rodriguez, and Lupita Godinez, compiling a sterling 20-3 professional record. Should she make it past her countrywoman and former Strawweight title contender, Amanda Lemos, in her debut main event tilt this weekend, she may just earn the right for her own shot at the belt.
Forgoing competing as an amateur, Jandiroba jumped straight into the professional ranks on June 15th, 2013, competing solely in her native Brazil for the first three and a half years of her career.
