The style
Gigi Canuto turned pro at 18 fresh off a BJJ black belt and ran up a 7-1 record on the LFA regional circuit, five of those wins by submission. Her only pro loss was a unanimous decision to judo bronze medalist Natasha Kuziutina in a 2023 LFA interim-title fight. A Manaus native training out of 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu Las Vegas, Canuto entered The Ultimate Fighter Season 34 as a tournament favorite, stopped Anita Karim in the quarterfinal, then was stopped herself by Melissa Amaya in the semifinal after a calf kick opened the door for ground elbows. She's 23 and makes her short-notice UFC debut here, just four days after that semifinal aired.
