Bruna Brasil Record: 11-7-1

UFC run

Brasil's Octagon tenure has been a true rollercoaster of momentum swings against a steady stream of credible names. She debuted in April 2023 and was stopped by Denise Gomes via second-round ground strikes, but bounced back just months later with a unanimous-decision win over the previously unbeaten Shauna Bannon in July 2023. A unanimous-decision loss to Loma Lookboonmee in February 2024 was answered by arguably her biggest win, a unanimous-decision victory over Molly McCann at UFC 304 in July 2024. The pattern continued into the next stretch: a decision loss to Cong Wang in February 2025, a unanimous-decision win over the experienced Ming Shi in August 2025, then back-to-back decision losses to Ketlen Souza in February 2026 and to Alexia Thainara in a March 2026 rematch, leaving her at 11-7-1.

Fighting style

Brasil is a striking-led fighter whose kickboxing pedigree shows in her best moments – the head-kick knockout of Marnic Mann and a knee-and-punches finish on the regional scene are pure highlight-reel material – while her BJJ brown belt gives her guillotine-heavy submission threats when fights hit the floor. Three knockouts and two submissions against six decision wins translate to a roughly 45% finish rate, the mark of a fighter dangerous enough to end nights early but who often finds herself in close, judged battles. That is also where her record reveals its honest edge: of her seven losses, three have come by knockout and four by decision, and her UFC run has settled into a streaky win-one, lose-one rhythm rather than a sustained climb. Durability and toughness keep her competitive against ranked-level opposition, but converting close rounds and avoiding the early storm have been the recurring challenges.

Career highlights

• UFC 304 win over Molly McCann — outpointed the popular veteran by unanimous decision in front of a massive UK crowd, arguably the signature victory of her Octagon run.
• Contender Series knockout — finished the unbeaten Marnic Mann with a second-round head kick to earn her UFC contract.
• Decorated kickboxer — a Brazilian, South American and world kickboxing champion and black belt before transitioning to MMA, the foundation of her striking game.
