Loopy Godinez

Overview

Sixteen UFC fights, thirteen of them to the scorecards. Loopy Godinez is a 10-6 strawweight who wins and loses on the judges' cards, and she has done plenty of both.

The Mexican strawweight debuted in April 2021 and has stayed busy since. Her UFC record is 10-6, with eight decision wins and two submissions. She carries a one-fight win streak into her next fight. Her 15-6 professional record covers all promotions, so the UFC mark is the one that matters here.

She is a decision fighter, not a finisher, and the sample is large enough to say so.

UFC Career

The start was uneven. Godinez lost a split decision to Jessica Penne on her debut in April 2021. Her first UFC win came that October, a first-round submission of Silvana Gomez Juarez at 4:14. A unanimous loss to Luana Carolina followed a week later. She then beat Loma Lookboonmee and Ariane Carnelossi by unanimous decision before Angela Hill beat her on the cards in August 2022.

2023 was her best stretch. She won four straight: a split decision over Cynthia Calvillo, a unanimous decision over Emily Ducote, a second-round submission of Elise Reed at 3:38, and a split decision over Tabatha Ricci. That run of four is her longest win streak in the UFC.

Then came back-to-back losses by unanimous decision to Virna Jandiroba in March 2024 and Mackenzie Dern that August. She bounced back with unanimous decision wins over Julia Polastri and Jéssica Andrade in 2025. Her one loss by finish came against Tatiana Suarez, by submission in the second round at 2:29 in April 2026. She answered with a unanimous decision over Ketlen Souza in October 2026.

Five of her six losses went to the judges. The exception is the Suarez submission.

Fighting Style

Godinez is a grappler first. She shoots for takedowns often and is very hard to take down herself. She also hunts for submissions more than most, which fits the way she has won.

On the feet, she is a busy striker who is hard to hit. She lands at a good clip and defends well, while her accuracy and the damage she absorbs sit right around the UFC average.

Her finishes are all submissions, one in round one and one in round two, and she has no knockouts. That is two finishes in sixteen UFC fights. Eight of her 10 wins came on the scorecards, and five of her six losses did too, so most of her fights are decided by the judges.
