Carli Judice Record: 6-2-0

Finding her footing in the UFC

Judice's UFC run started with adversity. In her promotional debut in June 2024 she dropped a split decision to Gabriella Fernandes, a razor-thin loss in a competitive three-round fight. Two close decision defeats to open her UFC tenure could have stalled her career, but they instead set up a striking response.

Turning the corner

Judice rediscovered her finishing form in spectacular fashion in 2025. In March she stopped the previously unbeaten Yuneisy Duben by first-round TKO with a head kick and punches at UFC Fight Night, then in July delivered the defining finish of her career so far – a third-round TKO of Nicolle Caliari with a knee and punches on the UFC 318 card in her home state of Louisiana. She closed out the run with a unanimous-decision win over Juliana Miller in February 2026, lifting her record to 6-2 and showing she could now win a measured fight on the cards as well as by stoppage.

Fighting style

Judice is a striker built around her kicking game, fitting for a fighter who trains at a gym called Headkicks. Five of her six wins are knockouts for an 83% finish rate, and her arsenal – head kicks, body knees and combination punching – makes her a constant threat to end fights early, as the finishes of Duben and Caliari showed. Her athleticism and competitiveness, honed in collegiate softball, show in her pace and pressure. The honest knock on her resume is the two split-decision losses that opened her UFC stint, both close fights that suggest there is still polish to add in the grappling and decision-round exchanges, but her 2025-26 run proved she has the power and the poise to compete with the division's contenders.

Career highlights

• Hometown finish at UFC 318 — she stopped Nicolle Caliari by third-round TKO with a knee and punches on a major Louisiana card.
• 83% finish rate — five of her six career wins came by knockout, making the former college softball star one of the flyweight division's more dangerous strikers.
