Lights are on. The music is playing, and Poliana Botelho walks to the stage to weigh in for her UFC debut. The 5-1 fighter from Nova Uniao successfully hits the mark at the Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a day before UFC 212, and the crowd boos. Botelho gets the “uh, vai morrer” treatment from her countrymen, who choose to support Jeiza. They square off, Jeiza shoves her opponent and … they laugh.
Botelho was not on the UFC 212 card, so what was she doing at the stage moments before the ceremonial weigh-ins?
