GrapplingStriking
American action fighter out of Fortis MMA who rebuilt herself from an 0-3 UFC start into a reliable mid-roster presence, winning six of nine before a March 2026 rematch loss to Piera Rodriguez. She fights at a relentless pace, mixing pressure boxing with opportunistic grappling. Durable and workmanlike rather than flashy.
