Kathryn Paprocki Record: 3-3-0

Building a regional resume

Early in 2019 she ran into seasoned veteran Emily Ducote at Xtreme Fight Night 356, dropping a third-round rear-naked choke to a future UFC fighter — a hard but valuable measuring stick. Paprocki answered with one of her best wins, submitting Tiani Valle by rear-naked choke in the third round at LFA 108 in May 2021 to push her professional record forward. That run set up a Dana White's Contender Series appearance later that year, where she dropped a decision to the unbeaten Maria Silva.

The Ultimate Fighter and beyond

Paprocki's profile rose further when she joined the cast of The Ultimate Fighter Season 30 in 2022, competing in the show's exhibition rounds. She continued to test herself against quality opposition on the LFA circuit, leaving her with a professional MMA record of 3–3 against a schedule notably tougher than most fighters face at that stage.

Fighting style

Paprocki is a well-rounded competitor whose multi-discipline background — boxing, Muay Thai and grappling — gives her options everywhere a fight can go. Her two professional wins highlighted on this page include a decision and a rear-naked choke, reflecting a fighter comfortable banking rounds on the scorecards or hunting the finish on the mat. The losses on her ledger came against a who's-who of upper-tier strawweights, including a future UFC veteran and an undefeated Contender Series opponent, underscoring that her record was forged against the kind of competition that exposes any weakness.
