Juliana Lima is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and mixed martial artist. She has fought for Invicta FC[1] and is currently signed to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Lima began her professional MMA career in 2010 in her native Brazil. In the first three years of her career, she went undefeated with a record of 5 wins and no losses. She has also competed in Muay Thai fight and jiu-jitsu tournaments.[1]

Invicta FC

In April 2013, Lima had her first fight in the United States as she faced Katja Kankaanpää at Invicta FC 5. She suffered the first loss of her career, losing the bout via unanimous decision.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

In December 2013, it was announced that Lima had been selected to appear as a contestant on The Ultimate Fighter: A Champion Will Be Crowned.[4] However, she was eventually removed from the cast due to being unable to speak English and instead received a direct contract with the UFC.[5]

Lima made her Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) debut in July 2014 against Joanna Jędrzejczyk at UFC on Fox 12. She lost the fight via unanimous decision.[6]

For her second fight with the promotion, Lima faced Nina Ansaroff at UFC Fight Night 58 on November 8, 2014. She won the fight by unanimous decision.

Lima was scheduled to fight Jessica Penne at UFC Fight Night 67 on May 30, 2015.[7] However, Penne was pulled from that bout in favor of a matchup with current UFC Women's Strawweight Champion Joanna Jędrzejczyk on June 20, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 69.[8] Lima instead faced Ericka Almeida and won the bout by unanimous decision.

Lima was scheduled to face UFC newcomer Amanda Ribas on July 7, 2017 at The Ultimate Fighter 25 Finale. Ribas, however, was flagged by USADA for a potential anti-doping violation and removed from the bout.[9] Lima instead faced replacement Tecia Torres.[10] Lima lost the fight via submission in the second round.[11]

Lima faced Randa Markos on January 27, 2018 at UFC on Fox 27.[12] She lost the fight via unanimous decision.[13]
