Brazilian flyweight who came into the UFC unbeaten and finished her first two opponents inside the distance. She is a Luta Livre black belt whose best work comes from submissions and body attacks, though her UFC results have swung on close decisions. Two early-career draws sit on her record, and she is coming off a majority-decision loss to Dione Barbosa in April 2026.
