Virna Carole Andrade Jandiroba is a Brazilian mixed martial artist competing actively in the UFC women’s strawweight division. Born May 30, 1988, she is listed at 5 feet 3 inches and trains at Academia Fight House. Known as “Carcará,” Jandiroba is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist: the UFC lists her as a second-degree BJJ black belt, and she says she began martial arts with kung fu before competing in jiu-jitsu from 2005. Her grappling-first game is built around positional control and submission attacks, while UFC coverage has also noted the development of her wrestling and striking.

A professional since 2013, Jandiroba became Invicta FC strawweight champion in 2018 and defended that belt against Janaisa Morandin by second-round arm-triangle choke at Invicta FC 31. She made her UFC debut on April 27, 2019, against Carla Esparza. Her UFC run includes notable victories over Marina Rodriguez, Loopy Godinez, Amanda Lemos and Yan Xiaonan. Jandiroba challenged Mackenzie Dern for the vacant UFC women’s strawweight title at UFC 321 on October 25, 2025, falling by unanimous decision. She returned on April 4, 2026, with a unanimous-decision win over Tabatha Ricci; as of September 13, 2026, UFC lists her as active and ranked No. 3 at strawweight.
