GrapplingStriking
Brazilian judo black belt who pairs throws and trips with a heavy overhand right, and once won a UFC fight by disqualification after an illegal upkick. She started her UFC run 3-0 but has not won since 2023, with opponents increasingly willing to grind her against the fence and on the scorecards. Her career finish rate — seven of eleven wins — shows the upside when she gets going early.
