Surging Brazilian contender, Virna Jandiroba is set for her return to action at UFC 314, booking a high-stakes strawweight pairing with former title challenger, Yan Xiaonan on April 12. from the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida.
Jandiroba, the current number three ranked strawweight contender, is in the midst of a stunning four-fight winning spree, most recently taking out compatriot and former title chaser, Amanda Lemos with an impressive armbar submission at UFC Vegas 94 back in July in the pair’s main event clash at the Apex facility.
As for the number two rated Chinese star, Xiaonan, the perennial contender returned to winning ways against the highly-touted Tabatha Ricci at UFC Fight Night Macau back in November, bouncing back to the winner’s enclosure following a UFC 300 title fight loss to fellow China native, Zhang Weili.
