Liana “Li” Pirosin made her return to pro MMA competition last night at Imortal FC 6 which took place from the Círculo Militar in Curitiba, Parana, Brazil. She faced off against

fellow Brazilian Vanessa “Vanessinha” Guimarães defeating her via a dominant unanimous decision. Pirosin now improves her record to 4-1-0, her only defeat comes at the hands of top UFC strawweight Viviane Pereira in a close decision.

“Li” is certainly a woman to watch out for as we approach 2017 and would certainly give the UFC strawweight division a run for their money. She told us in a recent interview that she has her eye set on joining UFC or Bellator in 2017, with performances like this she will be hard to deny. She begun training when she was 16 and told us “I started at age 16, with the goal of losing weight and practising physical activity, I began to excel in training and to want to compete”.

Pirosin has previous TKO victories over Helaine Ribeiro and Dayse Santos Nascimento. After a series of cancelled bouts during the year, she finally made her triumphant return last night, sending out a statement to the women’s MMA strawweight division.
