Diana Belbiţă bio
Personal background
Diana "The Warrior Princess" Belbiţă is a Romanian strawweight who has competed in the UFC, holding a 15-10 professional record. Born on June 26, 1996, in Drobeta-Turnu Severin, Belbiţă entered contact sports around age 12, starting with judo before branching into kickboxing, karate, and kempo. She became a decorated amateur, winning European and World honors in kempo, and that striking-and-grappling foundation carried into her professional MMA career. A rangy 5'7" with a 68-inch reach – long for the division – she fights out of House of Champions MMA in Stoney Creek, Ontario, where she relocated to round out her game after building her name on the Romanian regional scene.
Path to the UFC
Belbiţă turned professional in 2014 and won her first four bouts, including back-to-back armbar finishes to open her career, one of them over Alice Ardelean at Romanian XF 14. Her early run came largely under the RXF banner in Romania, where she stacked TKO and submission wins. She tasted adversity along the way – a 2015 armbar loss to Cristina Stanciu and a 2017 armbar defeat to future UFC fighter Ariane Lipski da Silva at KSW 39 – but kept winning enough to earn a UFC contract as one of the first Romanian women to reach the promotion.
UFC tenure
Belbiţă's UFC run began with a learning stretch. She dropped her promotional debut by unanimous decision to Molly McCann at UFC on ESPN 6 in October 2019, then lost a quick armbar to Liana Jojua in July 2020. She steadied herself in July 2021 with a signature win, outpointing prospect Hannah Goldy over three rounds for a unanimous decision that showed her toughness on the biggest stage.
The later run
After a 2022 decision loss to Gloria de Paula, Belbiţă produced one of her best performances, defeating Maria Oliveira by unanimous decision on the UFC 289 card in June 2023. The back half of her tenure proved difficult: she dropped decisions to veteran Karolina Kowalkiewicz and, in a 2024 rematch, lost again to McCann by first-round armbar. Her most recent appearance, in April 2025, ended in a first-round arm-triangle submission to Dione Barbosa.
Fighting style
Belbiţă is an aggressive, forward-pressing fighter who built her finishing reputation early, with a 67% finish rate and a mix of six knockouts and four submissions among her 15 wins. Her kempo and kickboxing base gives her sharp striking and a willingness to trade, and her length helps her control range against shorter strawweights. The clearest pattern in her career is on the defensive side of the mat: six of her ten losses have come by submission, several by armbar, signaling that her takedown and submission defense has been the difference between her and the division's top tier. When she keeps fights standing and dictates pace, as she did against Goldy and Oliveira, she is a handful.
Career highlights
- UFC win over Maria Oliveira — defeated Maria Oliveira by unanimous decision on the UFC 289 card, one of the standout performances of her promotional run.
- Decorated kempo champion — won European and World titles in kempo before turning to MMA, a striking pedigree that defined her aggressive style.
- Romanian pioneer — reached the UFC as one of the early Romanian women in the promotion, carrying her country's flag at strawweight.
