Jacqueline Cavalcanti

Overview

Six UFC fights, six trips to the scorecards. Jacqueline Cavalcanti has never finished an opponent in the UFC and has never been finished, and that is the whole story of her run so far.

She fights at women's bantamweight out of Syndicate MMA, and her UFC record is 5-1, built on five straight decisions before a unanimous-decision loss to Ketlen Vieira. Her overall professional record across all promotions is 10-2-0. She is not a champion.

The pattern is clean: every fight she has had in the UFC has gone the distance.

UFC Career

Cavalcanti debuted in September 2023 with a unanimous decision over Zarah Fairn, going the full three rounds. The next two wins were tighter. She took split decisions over Josiane Nunes in August 2024 and Nora Cornolle a month later.

She then collected a unanimous decision over Julia Avila in February 2025 and another over Mayra Bueno Silva in November 2025. That made five wins in a row, all on the judges' cards.

The streak ended in May 2026 against Vieira, a unanimous decision loss. She carries that one-fight skid into her next outing.

Six fights. Zero finishes. Eighteen scheduled rounds, all of them completed.

Fighting Style

Cavalcanti is a busy striker who is hard to hit. She throws a lot, lands a lot, and avoids most of what comes back, even though her accuracy is about what the UFC average looks like. That volume and defense are the core of her game.

She is not looking to grapple. She rarely shoots for takedowns and rarely hunts for submissions, but she is tough to take down when opponents try it.

That fits her record. All five of her UFC wins went to the scorecards, with no knockouts and no submissions, and her one loss was also a decision. She tends to win by piling up points over a full fight rather than ending it early.
