Discovered by Ultimate in the reality show 'Dana White's Contender Series', the Minas Gerais native from Uberlândia secured her corporate passport after defeating compatriot Mayana Souza dos Santos by submission in the first round of battle, in August last year. The dream of officially putting on the gloves as a UFC contract came true a month later, when the Brazilian was chosen to face Gillian robertson in one of the fights UFC Sao Paulo.
At the time, Sheetara was once again unaware of her opponent and, using jiu-jitsu, achieved yet another submission for her career. The triumph, in addition to guaranteeing her 'debut on the right foot', confirmed the unbeaten career of the Minas Gerais native, who has had five fights since she debuted in mixed martial arts.
In March, the athlete will have a more experienced opponent. With 12 fights in her record, Ukrainian Maryna will have her eighth fight for the company. With fights against experienced opponents like Carla esparza e Angela Hill, Moroz will try to stop, in front of the Brazilian public, Mayra's good phase.
Sheetara arrived at Ultimate as one of the bets for the flyweight division (up to 56,7kg), which, today, is dominated by the Kyrgyzstani Valentina Shevchenko.
So far, four fights are scheduled to take place at UFC Brasilia. Among them, the meeting between Amanda ribas e paige vanzant and Antônio's duel'Shoe Face' against Brad Tavares.
