Profile
Overview
Both of Dione Barbosa's UFC finishes are first-round submissions, and both came late in the round: 4:13 and 4:04. "The Witch" is a Women's Flyweight from Recife, Brazil, with a 4-2 UFC record and a 10-4-0 professional record across all promotions.
Her two losses went the distance. So did two of her wins. That tells you she is more than a hunter of quick finishes.
She carries a two-fight win streak into her next fight.
UFC Career
Barbosa fought on Dana White's Contender Series 7.5 in September 2023, submitting Rainn Guerrero in the first round. That bout isn't part of her UFC record. She debuted in the UFC at UFC 301 in May 2024 and beat Ernesta Kareckaite by unanimous decision.
Miranda Maverick took a unanimous decision over her two months later. Barbosa then reset with a first-round submission of Diana Belbita in April 2025.
Karine Silva, an opponent our model rates as strong, beat her by unanimous decision at UFC 319. Her response was to win twice in a row. Melissa Gatto went the full three rounds and took a majority decision. Anna Melisano didn't last that long, submitted in the first round.
Four of her six UFC fights have ended in a decision. Both losses have, too.
Fighting Style
Barbosa is a grappling-minded fighter who is difficult to hit. She lands fewer strikes per minute than most UFC fighters, but she takes very little in return. Her accuracy is about the UFC average.
On the mat, she is both active and hard to put down. She shoots for takedowns often, hunts for submissions, and is tough to take down herself.
The results fit that profile. Both of her UFC finishes are submissions, and both came in round one.
