Easily earns third straight win
FlyweightUFC
July 20, 2024
Carolina defeated Lucie Pudilova via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It sure seems as if every Carolina fight is exactly the same. She has very little power and lacks ideal athleticism, but Luana is perfectly comfortable standing in the pocket and exchanging. Her output on the feet it always high, and she has a strong chin. These aren't traits that figure to lead to success against better competition, but Carolina has displayed a consistently ability to defeat fringe-roster fighters such as Pudilova. Always active, the 31-year-old Brazilian has won three in a row dating back to July 2023.
Draws Pudilova in July
FlyweightUFC
May 14, 2024
Carolina will take on Lucie Pudilova at UFC Vegas 94 on July 20, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Carolina has been hit or miss during her UFC run, but currently finds herself on a two-fight winning streak after stopping Jilija Stoliarenko in the third round in February. She now draws Pudilova, who is on a dismal 1-7 stretch after dropping a bantamweight bout to Ailin Perez last November. Carolina has a slightly longer reach, in addition to statistical advantages in striking volume and striking defense.
Stoppage win after weight miss
FlyweightUFC
February 3, 2024
Carolina defeated Julija Stoliarenko via TKO (punches) at 4:52 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It would have been a solid performance from Carolina had she not missed weight by three pounds Friday morning. It marked the second time in her UFC run she struggled with the scale, and it's officially something to keep an eye on moving forward. Inside the Octagon, Luana stuffed 4-of-5 Stoliarenko takedown attempts and closed with a ridiculous 138-21 edge in total strikes landed. Carolina doesn't hit hard and relies on volume to be successful, as we saw here. Unfortunately, none of that will matter unless she gets the weight-cutting issues under control.
Misses weight

February 2, 2024
Carolina came in three pounds over the 126-pound weight limit for Saturday's flyweight bout versus Julija Stoliarenko, MMA Junkie reports.
ANALYSIS
Carolina will likely sustain a significant penalty to her fight purse as the result of missing weight on Friday. This now marks the second time during her stint with the UFC that she has missed the flyweight mark.

November 10, 2023
Carolina will fight Julija Stoliarenko at a UFC event scheduled for Feb. 3, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Both fighters will be coming off a win in their most recent bouts. While Carolina holds the superior record in the UFC (4-3 vs. 2-5), their common opponent, Molly McCann, defeated Carolina in March 2022 but lost to Stoliarenko in July.
