Blonde, pretty, black belt in judo and good at fighting. If you think we are talking about Ronda Rousey, you are wrong. The Brazilian Luana pinheiro begins her career in MMA and is already dreaming big: she wants to be bigger than the former UFC champion.

“Being compared to Ronda is inevitable. I came from judo and so did she. I'm not going to be the new Ronda. I will be better than Ronda, she stopped and I will continue”, said Luana in an interview with the report after her victory over Elaine Leal at Brave 11, held last Friday (13).
The 25-year-old fighter finished the fight with a rear naked choke in the first round, in her first appearance at an international event. She scored her fourth triumph in five fights as a professional. Despite the quick finish, Luana revealed that she was nervous before climbing into the cage.
"I am really happy. I was very nervous and anxious, but I worked hard and trained a lot. She knew she was prepared to fight on her feet, fight on the ground. I finished all my fights. I won't say that I was prepared to finish, but I was focused on doing my best. My goal was to win,” she added.
With the aim of becoming even greater than Ronda Rousey, Luana still doesn't aim for bigger challenges and, at the moment, she only thinks about resting after the triumph. "I still don't know. I signed a contract with Brave for three fights. I'll wait and see when and where it will be. I want at least a week of vacation,” he concluded.
