A specialist on the ground and coming off a submission victory, Luana expects a different outcome for her international debut, despite preaching respect for Elaine.
“I'm happy to be part of Brave's history, as the second female fight and the first between Brazilians. I can say now that I am a pioneer. I've watched some of Elaine's fights. She is a very strong fighter and I know it will be a great challenge for my international debut. See you on the 13th, Elaine!”, commented Pinheiro, who admitted his desire to fight in Bahrain, despite making his debut at home.
“I fight anywhere. Location doesn't matter to me. The objective is always the same. I’m happy and honored to fight in a big event and excited to be part of Brave, which is already one of the main shows in MMA worldwide even though it’s only been so short,” she said.
