Guadalajara-based veteran and former title challenger built around a heavy right cross and a sudden left hook, with eight of her fifteen wins coming by knockout. She fell short in her lone shot at the belt, a five-round decision loss to Amanda Nunes at UFC 289 in June 2023, then beat Karol Rosa that December before dropping a decision to Norma Dumont at UFC 306 in September 2024. She has never been finished by strikes or submission in her professional career.
