MMA Fighting Share this story Esther Lin, MMA Fighting Poliana Botelho signed a contract to face Ji Yeon Kim at UFC Vegas 25 on May 1, and then said “yes” to the UFC when Maya Bueno Silva was offered as a replacement. In the end, Botelho will be sharing the octagon with Luana Carolina, who took the spot after “Sheetara” suffered a back injury. “It looks like I’ve done three fights already,” Botelho laughed during an interview with MMA Fighting. “We study every fighter and they require a different game and different strategy, but, in the end, we were able to train a full month for Luana. I’m happy that this fight got done instead of it being cancelled.”
