Profile
Overview
Gabriella Fernandes has won three straight in the UFC and has also lost two straight, and in between she went the distance in six of seven fights. The Brazilian flyweight, who trains at MMA Masters in Miami, is 3-4 in the UFC (11-5-0 across all promotions) and has never been stopped before the final bell except once.
Her record is a story of close rounds, not big finishes. Two of her three UFC wins came on the scorecards, and the other was a submission. Three of her four losses went the full 15 minutes too.
Seven fights. Six that went deep.
UFC Career
Fernandes debuted in February 2023 and dropped back-to-back unanimous decisions to Jasmine Jasudavicius and Tereza Bleda. An 0-2 start can end a UFC run quickly. She stayed on the roster and turned it around.
The comeback began in June 2024 with a split decision over Carli Judice. Five months later she finished Wang Cong by submission at 3:49 of the second round, her only finish in the UFC. In August 2025 she added a unanimous decision over Julija Stoliarenko to complete a three-fight win streak, the longest of her UFC run.
It ended in 2026. Casey O'Neill stopped her at 3:11 of the first round, her only knockout loss. Then Karine Silva took a unanimous decision in November.
None of her UFC wins came against an opponent our model rates as elite. A small sample, but a clear one.
Fighting Style
Her striking output and accuracy sit around the UFC average, as does her defense, though she absorbs more than most. That matches a record full of decisions where she is hit as often as she hits.
The grappling numbers are lopsided. She rarely shoots for takedowns and rarely hunts submissions, yet she is very hard to take down. The Wang Cong submission is the exception that stands out, not the pattern.
Notable Wins
- Wang Cong — submission, round 2 (3:49), UFC Fight Night: Yan vs Figueiredo (2024)
