UFC doesn't allow Polyana Viana a cosplay walkout in her fights
The Brazilian strawweight fighter Polyana Viana has a reputation for cosplaying prominent anime characters. She has expressed her unwavering love for them in her social media posts quite often. 'Dama de Ferro' recently said that she tried to walk out to the octagon by cosplaying an anime character but couldn't convince the UFC.
In her media interaction prior to facing Iasmin Lucindo UFC Fight Night: Luque vs. Dos Anjos at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, she expressed her wish to cosplay but UFC denied her permission to do so.
"I’ve tried so many times, and I’ve actually asked to come in with a bandana. They’ve never allowed it. I wanted a cape. I’ve tried with like a blank bandana – I can’t. Apparently Naruto is a brand that does not allow it or something like that. I’ve tried so many times. I’ve asked. They never let me do it, but if I could, I definitely would.” [h/t MMA Junkie]
