Brazil's women's MMA finals and Miss Bumbum pageant highlight female competition

The Jungle Fight 154 "Fight do Milhão" women's finals took place on Saturday in São Paulo's Ginásio Mauro Pinheiro, broadcast live on TV Globo after the program “Altas Horas”. The event offered a half‑million‑real prize and the queen of the jungle belt. The semifinals featured Bianca Sattelmayer versus Yasmin Guimarães and Nágila Goku versus Regiane Borges. President Wallid Ismail stressed that men and women receive the same prize, saying, “Talent has no gender,” and noted support from first lady Regina Nunes, who helped bring the tournament to the capital.

On Thursday, the Miss Bumbum Brasil 2026 competition marched down Avenida Paulista with 27 candidates, including a boiadeira and a 50‑plus contestant. Organizer Cacau Oliver announced a format change: for the first time all participants will advance to an October final, allowing the public to follow each contestant’s journey. The pageant emphasizes real bodies, accepting cellulite and diverse body types as part of its celebration of Brazilian women.
