Kalindra Faria (born July 23, 1986) is a Brazilian MMA fighter. She competes in the Women's Flyweight[2] division and is currently signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship.[3]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Before joining the UFC, Faria amassed a record of 18-5-1 in fights against fighters such as Cláudia Gadelha,[4] Karolina Kowalkiewicz[5] and Jessica Aguilar.[6]

Titan FC

In her lone appearance for Titan FC, Faria won the inaugural Titan FC Women's Bantamweight Championship against Carina Damm via unanimous decision.[7]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

In 2017, Faria was set to make her UFC at UFC 216 against Andrea Lee, however as Lee had previously failed a drugs test, USADA required her to be in the testing pool six months before competing, causing her to pull out.[8] Lee was replace by fellow promotional newcomer Mara Romero Borella who submitted Faria in the first round.[9]

Faria next faced Jessica Eye at UFC Fight Night: Stephens vs. Choi on January 14, 2018. She lost the back and forth fight by split decision.[10]

Faria then faced Joanne Calderwood on August 25, 2018 at UFC Fight Night 135.[11] She lost the fight via submission in the first round.[12]
