Here's the match video of Virna Jandiroba vs Felice Herrig from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. Virna is 32 years old from Bahia, Brazil. She trains at her home town gym Academia Fight House owned by veteran fighter Renato Velame. She is a former Invicta Strawweight Champion. Virna's main skill is judo. Her striking is sub par. Felice is 35 years old from Chicago. She is returning from reconstructive knee surgery. Felice is mainly a kickboxer. Felice was forced to move to a new gym when her coach Jeff Curran was forced to close his gym due to COVID-19. I didn't like the sounds of that. And sure enough, Virna took Felice down and Felice was unable to escape and Virna won with a first round armbar. She got a performance bonus for that. Obviously that was a dominant win but I need to see her try that against better competition. I don't know where Felice goes from here. That was not good. Enjoy the video!
I feel very badly for Felice. I do not know what to say or what she does next. I just hope she goes back to the gym and trains harder and comes back with win next time around. David.
