Here's the fight video of Virna Jandiroba vs Marina Rodriguez from Saturday's UFC show in New Jersey. This fight is at Strawweight. Virna is 34 years old from Bahia, Brazil. She trains at Academia Fight House. She's gone 4-3 in the UFC. She's a BJJ whiz but her striking is terrible. Marina is 36 years old from Florianopolis, Brazil. She trains at Thai Brasil Floripa with coach Marcio Malko. She is 6-2-2 in the UFC. When she lost to Amanda Lemos. it hurt her chances to get into the title picture. All the fighters from her gym are strikers with no ground skills. So this was a classic grappler vs striker fight. Virna controlled the first two rounds on the ground and Marina had no answer for that. She did better in round three but she needed a finish. So Virna won by unanimous decision. The loss hurts Marina a lot more than the win helps Virna. I don't think Virna is a title contender anyway. A win could have got Marina back into the title picture. But she didn't look very good. She's out of the title picture. Enjoy the video!
