Profile
Overview
Both of Yazmin Jauregui's UFC losses ended inside the first round. Her fastest win did too, in 1:02.
The Mexican strawweight from Guadalajara is 4-2 in the UFC and 12-2-0 across all promotions. She has finished two of her four UFC wins, both by KO/TKO, and she carries a one-fight win streak into her next outing.
UFC Career
Jauregui debuted in August 2022 at UFC Fight Night: Vera vs. Cruz with a three-round unanimous decision over Iasmin Lucindo. Four months later she stopped Istela Nunes at 4:06 of round two. Two fights, two wins.
Then came UFC 290 and Denise Gomes, who knocked her out in 20 seconds. She answered with a unanimous decision over Sam Hughes in February 2024, but her next fight ended in a first-round submission loss to Ketlen Souza at UFC 306, at 3:02.
The gap before her next appearance is the longest of her run. When she returned in September 2026, she knocked out Vanessa Demopoulos in 62 seconds.
Her fights tend to be short or settled on the cards.
Fighting Style
Jauregui is a busy striker who throws a lot and lands plenty. She also takes more than most in return, and her accuracy is on the low side, so her fights tend to be exchanges rather than one-sided affairs.
Her grappling profile is lopsided. She rarely shoots for takedowns and rarely hunts submissions, but she is very hard to take down, which keeps her fights standing.
Her wins fit that profile: two by KO/TKO, one in round one and one in round two, and two by decision, with no submission wins. Her two losses came one by KO/TKO and one by submission.
