“Facing a Brazilian, up on the top of the division, the top of the world in the UFC is fantastic. As much as it might divide the fans, might divide the country, it just reinforces that the women of Brazil are on the top of the sport.”
And with a win on Saturday, Jandiroba is hopeful that she will, at the very least, put herself on the short list of potential title challengers in the 115-pound weight class, if not earn herself a championship opportunity next time out.
“What comes next is hopefully a title fight!” she said excitedly. “With this win I will be coming off four wins over extremely talented and high-ranking women. With this win, I should be ranked No. 3 in the division and I will, for sure, be a worthy challenge for Zhang Weili.”
As for how she gets it done, “Carcará” offered up a suggestion, rather than a prediction.
“It’s pretty obvious by now that I am always aiming for a submission in any circumstance I am in, but of course, my legs and arms aren’t tied, so I am physically capable of striking with Amanda.
“So just come and watch the fight and find out live with me what will happen!”
