Set to face Viana
StrawweightUFC
February 3, 2025
Amorim will take on Polyana Viana in a Strawweight bout at UFC Kansas City on April 26, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Amorim is in the midst of an absolute tear. After dropping her first bout in the UFC, she's ripped off three-straight victories - the two most recent coming in the first round. Most recently, she disposed of Vanessa Demopoulos via an Armbar back in September. Now, she'll look to make it four straight and push her record to 4-1 in the UFC. Her opponent, meanwhile, will be desperate for a win after dropping her last two fights.

Third straight first-round win
StrawweightUFC
September 7, 2024
Amorim defeated Vanessa Demopoulos via submission (armbar) at 3:28 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's the third straight first-round stoppage win for Amorim and her fourth overall. She deserves full marks for going out and completely blowing the doors off Demopoulos. Jaqueline landed an immediate takedown and proceeded to dominate her opponent on the mat. Vanessa was complaining that the Brazilian was repeatedly grabbing the inside of her gloves for increased leverage, but referee Jacob Montalvo was right on top of the action and never so much as warned Amorim. The result was another impressive finish for the 29-year-old. Amorim has certainly done enough in her last few bouts to warrant a step up in competition her next time out.
Demopoulos up next
StrawweightUFC
July 10, 2024
Amorim is scheduled to compete against Vanessa Demopoulos in a strawweight fight at UFC Vegas 97 on Sept. 7, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Amorim is coming off back-to-back first-round finishes. Demopoulos is also coming off back-to-back wins, meaning somebody's losing streak will be lost when the two strawweights fight in September.
Second straight first-round victory
StrawweightUFC
March 16, 2024
Amorim defeated Cory McKenna via submission (armbar) at 1:38 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Fresh off a first-round knockout win over Montserrat Ruiz last August, her first with the UFC, Amorim looked even better here against a considerably tougher opponent. She gave up an early takedown to McKenna, but immediately clamped on a deep triangle choke before transitioning to the armbar that ended the fight. Amorim is much better on the mat than the feet, so it felt like a real mistake by McKenna to give her that opportunity. With back-to-back first-round stoppage wins on her resume, Amorim figures to face better competition her next time out. In the meantime, she'll take home a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus for her efforts here.
McKenna up next
StrawweightUFC
January 23, 2024
Amorim is scheduled to compete against Cory McKenna in a strawweight fight at the UFC's Vegas event on March 16, per Aaron Bronsteter of TSN.ca.
ANALYSIS
Now, Amorim has scheduled her third UFC fight. The 28-year-old began her UFC career with a decision loss to Sam Hughes but bounced back with a TKO win over Montserrat Ruiz.
Cruises to first UFC victory
StrawweightUFC
August 12, 2023
Amorim defeated Montserrat Ruiz via TKO (strikes) at 3:41 of Round 3 at UFC on ESPN 51 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Entering as a -245 favorite, this appeared to be a prime rebound spot for Amorim on the heels of her unanimous decision defeat to Sam Hughes in her company debut this past April and she took full advantage. Unlike the Hughes fight in which Amorim started quickly and faded, she kept up the pace here, simply overwhelming Ruiz from bell-to-bell. The Brazilian displayed solid wrestling and some vicious ground-and-pound. It's hard to get a read on Amorim's long-term potential given she has all of eight pro fights under her belt at age 28, but this was a nice effort.
