Jaqueline Amorim

Overview

Five UFC wins, five finishes, and not one of them went to the scorecards. Jaqueline Amorim is a Manaus-born strawweight out of American Top Team, 5-2 in the UFC (11-2-0 across all promotions), and her only two losses are both unanimous decisions.

Four of those five wins are submissions. Three came in the first round.

UFC Career

Amorim debuted at UFC 287 in April 2023 and lost a unanimous decision to Sam Hughes. She answered with a third-round TKO of Montserrat Conejo Ruiz at 3:41, her lone knockout win in the UFC.

That win started a four-fight winning streak, her longest. Cory McKenna tapped in 1:38 of round one in March 2024. Vanessa Demopoulos followed in September, submitted at 3:28 of the first. Polyana Viana lasted until 1:49 of round two in April 2025.

The streak ended at UFC 321, where Mizuki took a unanimous decision. Amorim rebounded in May 2026 with a first-round submission of Loma Lookboonmee at 4:04.

Both defeats went the distance. None of her wins did.

Fighting Style

Jaqueline Amorim is a grappler first. She lets her hands go less often than most, but she is hard to hit, and her fights tend to stay out of striking exchanges. Her accuracy and striking defense are about what you would expect from the UFC average.

Her submission game is the standout. She hunts for submissions far more often than most fighters and shoots for takedowns more than most. The weak spot is staying on her feet when opponents want to take her down, since she gets taken down more than most.

Her finishes follow the same pattern. Four of her five UFC wins came by submission, and the other was a TKO. Three of those five finishes came in the first round.
