Polyana Viana had an unforgettable night Saturday in Las Vegas.
Not only did the Brazilian strawweight put an end to a three-fight skid, submitting Emily Whitmire with an armbar to score the 10th first-round stoppage of her professional MMA career at UFC Vegas 8, she also had the chance to honor late TFT teammate Odali Filho.
Filho, also known as “Gorila,” was a 28-year-old middleweight with a record of 7-3 in MMA. His last bout took place in June 2019, when he submitted Dominic Schober in 83 seconds in his first international fight in Enns, Austria.
