UFC rejects Polyana Viana's plea to walk out in 'Naruto' costume

While Polyana Viana is enthusiastic about cosplaying various anime characters, the UFC has declined her request to make an entrance wearing one.

Viana's Instagram feed is a tapestry of cosplays, each portraying various characters from anime series. Unfortunately, she won't be able to exhibit this artistic expression while making her entrance in her upcoming fight.

During her interview at the UFC Vegas 78 media day, 'Dama de Ferro' stated:

"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]
