Profile
Overview
Three UFC fights, three submissions, and not one that went to the cards. Bia Mesquita is a Women's Bantamweight out of American Top Team, 3-0 in the UFC and 8-0 as a pro across all promotions. She isn't a champion, but she carries a three-fight win streak into her next fight.
UFC Career
Mesquita debuted in October 2025 and finished Irina Alekseeva by submission in Round 2 at 2:14. Her next two fights ended earlier. She submitted Montse Rendon in Round 1 at 2:07 in March 2026, then Melissa Mullins in Round 1 at 3:16 that June.
Two of the three finishes came in the first round, and none of the three opponents carries our elite tag. It's a small sample.
Fighting Style
Bia Mesquita is a grappler first. She shoots for takedowns often and hunts for submissions more than most fighters on the roster. Her striking is no afterthought, though. She is a busy striker who is hard to hit, and her accuracy and defense both stand out.
The weak spot is takedown defense. She gets taken down more than most.
Her finishing pattern is consistent. All three UFC wins have come by submission, two in Round 1 and one in Round 2. None of her fights has gone to the scorecards.
