UFC women’s strawweight fighter Polyana Viana isn’t backing down if asked to fight a possible alien invasion but won’t be using her MMA skills to defeat Earth’s invaders.
Polyana Viana hasn’t found much success inside the Octagon. But the former Jungle Fight Strawweight champion is one of the most popular fighters in the UFC’s women’s scene because of her stunningly good looks and bad a** image.
During a recent interview with internet star Nina Marie Daniele for Nina Drama, the 31-year-old Brazilian was asked to name the three UFC fighters that she would take with her to fight off an alien invasion of the planet Earth.
According to Viana, she would bring along her friends McKenzie Dern and Natalia Silva. Meanwhile, she chose former double-champion Amanda Nunes as the third girl that she wants to go to war with. Although Polyana admitted that they will probably lose to the extraterrestrials, she says they won’t try to fight the invaders with their MMA skills but would probably use their charms to try and seduce the green men.
Nina then joked that perhaps it would only be Polyana and McKenzie who would use their beauty to beat the aliens. For obvious reasons, Nunes will be the one to beat them up.
Polyana fighting in real life isn’t just fantasizing about battling aliens, regardless of her strategy. In the interview, Viana re-told the story of how she fought off a man at the bus stop who tried to steal her mobile phone. She proceeded to beat up the man, broke his nose, and sent him to a hospital.
It’s good to see Viana in good spirits because she recently suffered a second consecutive defeat against Gillian Robertson at UFC 297 last January 20th. The defeat was her second straight after she had won three out of her previous four fights.
Before joining the UFC, Viana fought exclusively in her native land. At Jungle Fight 83, she defeated current UFC fighter Amanda Ribas to win the Jungle Fight women’s strawweight championship. Polyana made a second successful title defence before heading out heaving to the UFC.
Life hasn’t been as kind to Viana inside the Octagon as she’s won only four out of her 10 UFC assignments. The last time she had her arms raised in victory was in November 2022 when she knocked out Jinh Yu Frey at UFC Fight Night 214. Viana has a record of 13-7 with five knockouts and 8 wins via submission.
