One of the division's youngest risers, a 26-year-old Brazilian with seven knockout wins and heavy hands for strawweight. She fights aggressively from the opening bell, though her defense still lags behind her offense. Riding a four-fight win streak, she is booked against ranked contender Yan Xiaonan on August 30, 2026 in the biggest test of her career.
