Jaqueline Amorim
Jaque
Brazil
Finds submission in Macau opener
Amorim defeated Loma Lookboonmee via submission (Armbar) at 4:04 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Macau, China.
ANALYSIS
It was a nice performance from Amorim on the heels of a lopsided unanimous decision loss to Mizuki Inoue as a -450 favorite last October. She originally went for a kimura attempt along the fence before transitioning to the armbar. Amorim's all-around game is lacking, but she's a legitimately talented submission specialist, with nine of her 11 career wins coming via that method. The competition level faced has been mediocre, but it's impossible to argue with the recent results. Amorim has won five of six dating back to August 2023.

Set to face Lookboonmee
Amorim will take on Loma Lookboonmee in a strawweight bout at UFC Macau on May 30, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Just like her opponent, Amorim was coming off four wins in a row before dropping her most recent fight -- a unanimous decision loss to Mizuki Inoue at UFC Abu Dhabi on Oct. 25, 2025. That loss was her first defeat since losing to Sam Hughes on April 2023, so her spot on the UFC roster is pretty secure, and she'll aim to bounce back in an environment where she shouldn't have a lot of support from the local fans.

Winning streak snapped at four
Amorim lost to Mizuki Inoue via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 28-29) at UFC 321 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
It was a laughably poor performance from Amorim as a -450 favorite against an opponent that hadn't fought in more than two years. The Brazilian was able to land a pair of takedowns, but found herself on the short end of a 150-48 count in terms of total strikes landed. Amorim's complete inability to generate anything on the feet allowed Inoue to push forward without hesitation. Jaqueline entered having won four in a row, all via stoppage, so her roster spot is plenty secure despite this stinker.

ANALYSIS
Amorim will get back in the ring against Mizuki Inoue in October following her win by submission (rear-naked choke) against Polyana Viana in April. The 30-year-old Brazilian will look to build upon her 4-1 UFC record.

Cruises as biggest favorite on card
Amorim defeated Polyana Viana via submission (rear-naked choke) at 1:49 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
This is the type of dominant performance you want to see when you back a fighter as a -900 favorite. In a fight which lasted 6:49, Amorim was credited with 6:34 worth of control time. She primarily just hung out in top position in Round 1, but once she actively sought out the finish early in Round 2, Viana was done. The 29-year-old Brazilian has won four straight fights via stoppage (three submissions, one knockout) on the heels of a unanimous decision loss to Sam Hughes in her UFC debut back in April 2023.

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.
