Protagonist of a controversial scene in UFC Las Vegas 25, Randa markos manifested itself after the disqualification suffered in front of Luana pinheiro, last weekend. After hitting the Brazilian with an illegal kick, which prevented the Paraíba native from continuing in the match, the Canadian accused her rival of simulating an injury. On her social networks, the veteran commented on the matter.

“I’ve been in the game for a while. I have never intentionally made an illegal strike. It's a fight, shit's about to go down. I took three blows to the eye (requiring stitches and loss of vision) and never thought for a second that I wouldn't continue. I had such a great camp with Travis Lutter, Coach Shug and Justin Adams in Texas and I was ready to showcase my skills to the biggest fight organization in the world. Yes, my foot touched her, but my opponent's inability to continue seemed a bit exaggerated and suspicious. I told her, after touching her in the eye, that I wouldn't leave that cage without a victory and she stole that from me”, said Markos, in her profile on Instagram.
Although she vented in her publication, Luana's debut fight in the UFC was going in favor of the Brazilian even before the unexpected end. Known for her excellence in judo, the woman from Paraíba dominated the confrontation, applying takedowns and controlling the actions.
The result further confirmed Randa's bad phase in Ultimate. After a new defeat, the Canadian now has five defeats in the last six appearances. Still on social media, the veteran said she was looking forward to the next step in her career.
“I'm excited for what's to come. I have a lot of heart in me that needs to be released. Thank you to everyone who helped me and I'll be back soon,” she concluded.
Although he didn't star in the debut of his dreams, Luana pinheiro continues to live a great moment in MMA. Revealed by 'Contender Series', the 27-year-old from Paraíba now has seven positive results in a row and hasn't known what it's like to lose since 2017.
