Puja Tomar

Overview

Puja Tomar's UFC run is two fights long: a split decision win on debut, then a second-round submission loss. She is a southpaw strawweight from Budhana, India, with a 1-1 UFC record and 9-6-0 as a professional across all promotions. The win is the only decision on her UFC ledger, and it came in her first appearance.

UFC Career

Tomar debuted at UFC Fight Night: Cannonier vs Imavov in June 2024 and beat Rayanne dos Santos by split decision after three full rounds.

Shauna Bannon ended her second UFC fight at UFC Fight Night: Edwards vs Brady in March 2025, submitting her in round 2 at 3:22. Tomar carries that loss into her next UFC fight.

She also lost by first-round submission to Shi Ming at Road to UFC 5.2 in May 2026, but that fight isn't part of her UFC record.

Both losses ended the same way.

Fighting Style

Tomar is a busy, accurate striker who lets her hands go often. That volume comes with a cost, as she gets hit more than most fighters and her striking defense is not a strength.

The ground game is mostly a defensive one. She rarely shoots for takedowns and almost never hunts for submissions, but she is hard to take down.

Her UFC record is 1-1, with her one win coming by decision and her one loss by submission. She has no finishes in the UFC yet, so her results so far rest on volume and durability rather than a finishing pattern.

That is a small sample, and the submission loss sits awkwardly beside her strong takedown defense.
