Virna Jandiroba knows that finishes get the attention of the UFC brass, and finding an early stoppage against former title challenger Amanda Lemos could propel her even closer to her own shot at gold.
Just the second time on a UFC main card, Jandiroba (20-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) finds herself headlining opposite Lemos (14-3-1 MMA, 8-3 UFC) Saturday at UFC on ESPN 60 (ESPN, ESPN+) at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Jandiroba is on the best stretch of her UFC tenure, having won three straight unanimous decisions against Angela Hill, Marina Rodriguez and Lupita Godinez. While those are solid wins against stiff competition, Jandiroba knows that the UFC prefers finishes en route to a title shot.
