Virna Jandiroba emerged as a new contender in the strawweight division, demonstrating her prowess on the canvas with a submission victory over recent title challenger Amanda Lemos, securing her fourth consecutive win.

The former Invicta FC champion showcased her superiority throughout the bout. In the first round, Jandiroba controlled the action, maintaining an edge over Lemos as they scrambled through various positions. The turning point came in the second round when Lemos chose to take the fight to the ground. Jandiroba, also known as "Cacerea," capitalized on this decision, maneuvering to Lemos' back. After initially seeking a rear-naked choke, Jandiroba transitioned to an armbar, forcing Lemos to tap out just before the horn sounded to end the round.

Jandiroba's victory positions her as one of the top contenders in the division, alongside Tatiana Suarez, who has yet to face reigning champion Zhang Weili. With this impressive performance, Jandiroba could soon find herself challenging the Chinese champion for the title later this year.

The win marks a significant milestone in Jandiroba's career, highlighting her as a charismatic and formidable fighter in the strawweight division.
