Former UFC women’s flyweight Poliana Botelho has received some difficult news recently. Having been picked up by Invicta FC after her UFC release, the Brazilian only had one fight under the new promotion before discovering she had breast cancer.
Last Friday, Botelho shared the news with her fans on her official Instagram account and was received well wishes from many followers, including fellow athletes such as Amanda Nunes, Matheus Nicolau and Felice Herrig, among others. In the post, Botelho thanked her followers for the support and shared some details of what the treatment has been like so far.
