One of the strawweight division's youngest risers, the 26-year-old Brazilian carries seven knockout wins and heavy hands into her biggest test yet. She fights aggressively from the opening bell, though her defense still lags behind her offense. Riding a four-fight win streak that includes stoppages of Elise Reed and Karolina Kowalkiewicz, she is booked against former title challenger Yan Xiaonan in the co-main event.
