Loma is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Alexia Thainara in September 2025 at UFC Perth, dropping 30-27 across all three cards after eating five takedowns and 10 minutes of control time. It was her first loss since 2019 and snapped a four-fight win streak. The context matters: Thainara is an aggressive offensive wrestler, exactly the style Loma has historically struggled to neutralize. Before that, she stacked four straight unanimous decisions: Istela Nunes (April 2025), Bruna Brasil (February 2024, three 29-28 cards), Patrina Lawal (July 2023) and Elise Reed (February 2023). Her background is rare: nine-time Muay Thai champion before MMA, three IFMA gold medals, S-1 World Champion, Theprasit Stadium Champion, Assawindam Stadium Champion. She trains at Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket and was the first Thai fighter signed to the UFC. She is 7-3 in the UFC against medium-tier strawweight competition, and Jaqueline Amorim is the perfect stylistic opposite to her last opponent: a submission specialist instead of a positional grinder. Loma now needs to prove that her elite takedown defense holds up against jiu-jitsu, not just against fence-pressure wrestling.

Amorim dropped a unanimous decision to Mizuki Inoue at UFC 321 in October 2025, scorecards 30-27, 30-27, 29-28. It was a painful reverse because Amorim came in as the favorite and the fight started in her ideal script: aggression in round 1, two takedowns, mount, rear-naked choke threat. Inoue reversed position and took over rounds 2 and 3 with a fence trip, top control and clean ground strikes. The black belt ended up dominated from top by the Japanese fighter coming back from a four-plus-year layoff. Before that loss, Amorim ran three straight submission finishes: rear-naked choke at 1:49 of round 2 over Polyana Viana (April 2025), armbar at 3:28 of round 1 over Vanessa Demopoulos (September 2024) and armbar at 1:38 of round 1 over Cory McKenna (March 2024). Eight of her ten career wins are by submission (75% submission rate); she is tied for seventh in strawweight history in submissions and third in submission attempts. She is a 2nd-degree Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt with IBJJF World Championship, IBJJF No-Gi Worlds and Abu Dhabi World Pro titles on her resume, with her jiu-jitsu lineage tracing through CheckMat. She trains MMA at American Top Team in Coconut Creek. The essential read here is that Amorim is still the most dangerous submission threat in the unranked strawweight pool, but the Inoue loss exposed a thin plan B against technical strikers who can defend and reset to their feet. She is 4-2 in the UFC, both losses by decision, both to strawweights who neutralized the ground game.
