Profile
Overview
Six UFC fights, and every one went the full three rounds except one, and that one ended with 24 seconds left. Talita Alencar fights at 115 pounds, and her 4-2 UFC record has been built almost entirely on the scorecards.
The Brazilian, known as "Problem Child," debuted in December 2023 and carries a 4-2 UFC mark inside an 8-2-1 professional record across all promotions. She is not a champion, and her recent form is a loss.
Her path looks like a decision fighter's. The one stoppage she has is the exception.
UFC Career
Alencar's route to the UFC ran through Dana White's Contender Series, where she drew with Stephanie Luciano by unanimous decision in September 2023. That fight does not count toward her UFC record. Three months later she made her UFC debut and beat Rayanne dos Santos by split decision.
The rematch with Luciano came in August 2024 as a UFC fight, and Luciano took a unanimous decision. That was Alencar's first UFC loss.
What followed was her best stretch: three straight wins, her longest streak. She beat Vanessa Demopoulos by unanimous decision in April 2025, then finished Ariane Carnelossi by submission in round 3 at 4:36 that November. Julia Polastri was next, and Alencar won a unanimous decision in April 2026.
The streak ended against Piera Rodriguez, who won a unanimous decision in October 2026. Both of her UFC losses came on the scorecards, so no one has stopped her.
Six fights, six trips into the third round.
Fighting Style
Talita Alencar is a wrestling-first fighter. She gets takedowns more than most and is hard to take down herself.
Her striking is ordinary. She lands and absorbs strikes at about the UFC average, and her defense is around average too, though her accuracy is a step behind. She doesn't hunt for submissions much, and her game leans on control instead.
Three of her four UFC wins have gone to the scorecards. Her one finish was a submission in round 3.
