Given former title challenger
Jandiroba is scheduled to compete against Amanda Lemos in a strawweight fight at UFC Vegas 94 on July 20, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
For Jandiroba's next fight, a win could put the Brazilian in line for a future title shot against UFC Strawweight Champion Zhang Weili. Among the division's top-five contenders, Jandiroba and Tatiana Suarez are the only ones the champ has not faced. She has defeated Lemos though, who is ranked No. 3 and coming off a win over Mackenzie Dern.

Secures third straight win
Jandiroba defeated Lupita Godinez via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Atlantic City.
ANALYSIS
If you've seen one successful Jandiroba fight, you've seen them all. Virna is entirely reliant on her grappling game for success. She managed a pair of takedowns on nine attempts against Godinez but won this bout because she was consistently able to outmuscle Loopy at the point of attack, which is no small task because she was facing a credible opponent. Jandiroba's ceiling is severely capped by the fact she will be 36 years of age shortly and has just one knockout win in 23 professional bouts, but she's quietly won three straight dating back to May 2022, and all three have come against decent opposition (Godinez, Marina Rodriguez, Angela Hill).

Will fight Godinez
Jandiroba will fight Lupita Godinez at a UFC event scheduled for March 30, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Jandiroba holds a three-inch reach advantage over Godinez and has won her previous two fights. However, Jandiroba's fight against Godinez will mark her first in nearly 11 months and second in nearly two years, so there is a chance the 35-year-old fighter shows a bit of rust.

Leans on grappling in win
Jandiroba defeated Marina Rodriguez via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27) at UFC 288 on Saturday in Newark, New Jersey.
ANALYSIS
Easy work. Exceptionally strong for her size and an excellent grappler, Jandiroba leaned on her wrestling in this fight, as expected. She connected on 3-of-7 takedown attempts, good for 12:02 worth of control time. Rodriguez never had a prayer of returning to her feet with Virna on top of her, resulting in a clear-cut unanimous decision victory for the soon-to-be 35-year-old Brazilian. Jandiroba has struggled with consistency, never winning more than three straight fights during her time with the UFC, although she has emerged victorious in three of her last four dating back to June 2021.
