Strawweight contender Virna Jandiroba knows what it feels like to suffer a hard loss in the Octagon. Although ‘Carcara’ has been able to recover from a frustrating defeat to Mackenzie Dern with a victory over Kanako Murata, the Brazilian believes her next opponent must be going through the same process.
Paired up against Amanda Ribas, who got TKO’d by Marina Rodriguez in her last outing, Jandiroba tells Combate how impacted she was by her loss to Dern. However, now that Virna was able to put the loss behind her, she hopes to show an improved version of herself at UFC 267.
