Macy Chiasson

Overview

Five finishes in eight UFC wins, and three straight decision losses at the end of the run so far. Macy Chiasson is an 8-6 Women's Bantamweight whose record splits cleanly in two: the stretch where she ended fights, and the one where she has gone the distance and come up short.

She debuted on November 29, 2018 at The Ultimate Fighter: Heavy Hitters Finale. Her 11-6 professional record covers all promotions, so the UFC mark is the 8-6 above. She carries a three-fight losing streak into her next fight.

UFC Career

The start was fast. Chiasson submitted Pannie Kianzad in round 2 of her debut, then stopped Gina Mazany at 1:49 of round 1 at UFC 235 and Sarah Moras in round 2 in May 2019. Three fights, three finishes. That is also her longest win streak.

Lina Lansberg ended it with a unanimous decision in September 2019. Chiasson answered with decision wins over Shanna Young and Marion Reneau, then lost by submission in round 2 to Raquel Pennington in December 2021.

A split decision over Norma Dumont at UFC 274 was followed by a round 3 TKO loss to Irene Aldana at UFC 279. Between that loss and the Pennington submission, those are her only two UFC losses that did not go to the scorecards.

After a gap of nearly 18 months, Chiasson came back in March 2024 and submitted Kianzad in round 1, in a rematch of her debut. She followed with a round 2 TKO of Mayra Bueno Silva at UFC 303.

The three fights since have all gone to the scorecards, all unanimous, all losses: Ketlen Vieira, Yana Santos and Ailin Perez. Four of her six UFC losses are decisions.

Fighting Style

Macy Chiasson is a striker who is hard to hit in volume, though her defense is shaky when the strikes do arrive. She lands at a typical UFC pace and accuracy, and she has been stopped by strikes once.

Her grappling is the more reliable side. She stays on her feet against most takedown attempts and shoots for takedowns more often than most. She doesn't chase submissions much, but two of her eight UFC wins have come that way.

Her finishes arrive early. All five came in the first two rounds: a knockout and a submission in round 1, and two knockouts and a submission in round 2. The other three wins went to the scorecards.
