Felice Herrig has never been finished in an official MMA bout, and Virna Jandiroba plans on changing that Saturday night in Las Vegas.
“Carcara” is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist who’s used her grappling skills to force a dozen strawweights to tap since her MMA debut in 2013, most recently against Mallory Martin and Janaisa Morandin.
A former Invicta FC titleholder, Jandiroba loves the idea of facing a “big-name opponent” like Herrig at UFC 252 because “she’s a veteran who has proven her talent against other big names in the UFC,” and it gives her a platform to build her own brand in the company.
