Polyana viana responded to a robbery last Saturday night (04) in Rio de Janeiro. The fighter landed two punches, a kick and immobilized the thief who tried to take her cell phone. The Brazilian's attitude even caught the attention of Ultimate's president, Dana White, who published the case on his social networks. With the repercussion of this fact, the 'Iron Lady' was selected to face Hannah Cifers at UFC 235, on March 2, in Las Vegas (USA).
