Polyana Viana is 1-3 in the UFC and has lost three straight bouts. She comes off a first-round submission defeat to Veronica Macedo in just over one minute. She had a lot of hype after making the jump to UFC, but it simply hasn't come to fruition. She's a good striker but runs into a fighter in Emily Whitmire who can fight standing up (2.84 significant strikes per minute) while playing defense, but she prefers to take things to the mat. Whitmire has a winning UFC record (2-1) and has had 14 months to prep for this fight. She's also the far better wrestler, which is where this is likely headed. Back Emily Whitmire to win the bout.
