Iasmin Lucindo

Iasmin Lucindo Bezerra is a 23-year-old Brazilian strawweight from Fortaleza who represents the new generation of UFC talent. She began her fight career at age 14 to protect her mother and aunts from domestic violence, a mission that drove her to turn professional immediately and rack up 24 fights by her early twenties. Her early dedication paid off: after a close loss in her UFC debut in August 2022, she has since compiled a 5-2 record in the octagon with dominant wins over established names like Karolina Kowalkiewicz, Marina Rodriguez, and most recently Angela Hill, whom she defeated by unanimous decision in August 2025 on the UFC main card despite a generation-spanning age gap.

Lucindo fights as a dynamic striker with heavy hands who lands the majority of her significant strikes at distance, complemented by sharp jiu-jitsu and submission skills earned through her parallel training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, where she is a state champion and ADCC trials competitor. Her resume shows 8 knockouts, 3 submissions (including armbars and arm-triangle chokes), and only 3 first-round finishes, underscoring her ability to impose her game and finish from multiple angles. She has won 11 of her last 14 fights overall and currently sits as the third youngest fighter on the UFC roster and the youngest female, having earned a Performance of the Night bonus for her submission of Polyana Viana in 2023.

Despite rapid success and a main-card slot, Lucindo remains focused on improvement rather than matchmaking or callouts, telling the press after her Hill win that she plans to simply keep getting better and fight whoever the UFC offers. Her combination of youth, versatility, submission prowess, knockout power, and a grounded, improvement-focused mindset has positioned her as one of strawweight's most compelling rising talents, drawing fans with her origin story and the promise of what a 23-year-old with this much experience and finishing ability might become over the next five years.
