Profile
Overview
Two UFC fights, two knockouts, and neither one finished in the first round. Shanelle Dyer, "The Nightmare," is a 2-0 Women's Strawweight out of London who carries a two-fight win streak into her next fight. Her overall professional record is 8-1-0 across all promotions, and the only loss on her résumé came before the UFC.
UFC Career
That loss was a unanimous decision to Carol Foro at Dana White's Contender Series 9.5 in September 2025, a fight that sits outside the UFC record. She debuted in the UFC in March 2026 and stopped Ravena Oliveira by KO/TKO at 1:17 of round two. Then came Elise Reed, stopped by KO/TKO at 1:42 of round three.
She gets there in the middle rounds, not the opening minutes.
Fighting Style
The profile is a striker's. She lands far more per minute than the UFC average and does it accurately, though she also absorbs more than most. She rarely shoots for takedowns and rarely hunts submissions, but she is very hard to take down. Both UFC wins came by KO/TKO, so the finishing pattern matches the numbers.
Notable Wins
- Elise Reed: KO/TKO, round 3, UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues (2026)
- Ravena Oliveira: KO/TKO, round 2, UFC Fight Night: Evloev vs Murphy (2026)
