On the eve of the biggest fight of his career, Mayra Sheetara wants to present himself in a violent and convincing way. Currently ranked tenth in the bantamweight rankings (up to 61.2kg), the Brazilian plans to knock out Holly holm and qualify to compete for the title that became vacant after Amanda nunes retire. During the 'media day', the fighter talked about her strategy.
“I want to hurt her. I want to hurt her for four rounds and then, in the fifth round, knock Holly out. I need to knock her out, and she needs to knock me out too. When someone wins a good fight, I think it's next because no one wants to watch Julianna Pena x Rachel Pennington, sorry”, said the fighter.

Escalation to main fight UFC Las Vegas 77, Mayra is considered a 'zebra' in bookmakers compared to the former champion of the division. Fueled by three consecutive victories, the Brazilian seeks to occupy the second place position defended by her rival and qualify for the title. The clash is scheduled for this Saturday (15), at Apex.
An Ultimate veteran, Holm could gain another chance to reign supreme in the category if she triumphs over the Brazilian this Saturday (15). Victorious in her last appearance, the American proved she belongs to the bantamweight elite by overcoming Yana Santos. At 41 years old, the 'preacher's daughter', as she is known, has 15 wins and six losses in her career.
