Brazilian fighter Virna Jandiroba has voiced strong disapproval regarding the perception and evaluation of grapplers within the UFC. She believes the organization unfairly discriminates against athletes who prioritize grappling and wrestling, often favoring strikers.
Jandiroba stressed that Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is fundamentally a comprehensive sport that integrates diverse disciplines, rather than being solely kickboxing or any other striking-focused art. She asserts that overlooking or undervaluing grappling techniques distorts the genuine essence of MMA.
