Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog

Polyana Viana (born 14 June 1992) is a Brazilian female Mixed martial arts fighter, currently competing in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Personal life

In January 2019, a man attempted to rob Viana using a fake gun as she waited outside her apartment. Viana punched the man and used her mixed martial arts skills to subdue him until the police arrived.[2][3] Viana did not face charges for beating up the would be robber.[4]

Mixed martial arts career

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Viana made her UFC debut at UFC Fight Night: Machida vs. Anders on 3 February 2018 against Maia Stevenson.[5] She won the fight via rear-naked choke in the first round.[6]

In May 2018 it was announced that Viana would be fighting against JJ Aldrich on UFC 227 in August.[7] Viana would lose the fight via unanimous decision as Aldrich out-boxed her most of the fight.[8]

She next took on Hannah Cifers at UFC 235,[9] a fight she went on to lose by split decision.[10]

Viana took on Veronica Macedo at UFC Fight Night: Shevchenko vs. Carmouche 2. The bout had originally been scheduled between Macedo and Rachael Ostovich,[11] however on July 29 it was announced that Ostovich would be replaced by Viana for an undisclosed reason.[12] As expected the fight took place on the ground, but surprisingly Macedo submitted Viana via armbar, a submission Viana herself had finished so many fights. The result was Macedo's first UFC win and the first time in Viana's career she had ever been submitted in a fight.[13]

Viana was scheduled to face Emily Whitmire on March 8, 2020 at UFC 248.[14] At the weigh-ins, Whitmire weighed in at 117.5 pounds, 1.5 pounds over the strawweight non-title fight limit of 116. She was fined 20% of her purse and her bout with Viana was expected to proceed as scheduled at a catchweight.[15] Subsequently, Whitmire was hospitalized the day of the event and the fight was cancelled.[16] The pair was rescheduled on August 29, 2020 at UFC Fight Night 175 in a flyweight bout.[17]
