GrapplingStriking
The first New Zealand woman to fight in the UFC, an unbeaten grappler with six submission wins in eight fights, most by rear-naked choke. She smothered Luana Carolina in her September 2025 debut and outworked veteran Mayra Bueno Silva in April 2026. Her wrestling-heavy southpaw game has her on the edge of the rankings.
