GrapplingStriking
A Recife judoka and Contender Series signee who has quietly gone 3-2 in the UFC, with wins over Kareckaite, Belbita, and most recently Melissa Gatto on a majority decision in April. Every finish of her career is a submission — she has never won by knockout — and the arm triangle off clinch takedowns is the signature. Fighting on a quick three-month turnaround.
