Virna Jandiroba

Virna Jandiroba, fighting out of an orthodox stance at 115 pounds, holds a 23-4-0 professional record with a recent 5-3 run over her last eight UFC fights. The Brazilian grappler operates as a high-volume takedown threat, averaging 3.13 takedowns per 15 minutes with 72% takedown defense and 1.4 submission attempts per 15 minutes, making her a consistent submission danger despite modest striking output of 2.27 strikes landed per minute at 41% accuracy.

Her recent campaign has been inconsistent at the elite level: she secured a submission victory over Amanda Lemos in July 2024 and earned unanimous decisions against Marina Rodriguez and Loopy Godinez, but suffered back-to-back unanimous decision losses to Mackenzie Dern in October 2025 and Amanda Ribas in 2021, indicating struggles against top-tier competition. Jandiroba's grappling-centric approach and defensive acumen (55% striking defense) have kept her competitive in decision-heavy bouts, though her inability to finish fights at the highest level and recent losses to elite strikers like Dern suggest she remains a mid-tier contender in the women's strawweight division.
