Alexia Thainara is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt riding a 12-fight win streak, with eight of her 14 wins coming by submission. She earned her UFC deal on the 2024 Contender Series, then announced herself by choking out Molly McCann in the first round of her short-notice debut. Since then she has outworked Loma Lookboonmee and Bruna Brasil with relentless takedowns and top control, going 3-0 inside the Octagon. Training with the Ribas Family academy, she is climbing the strawweight rankings fast and has never been taken down in the UFC.
