Slated to face Robertson
Pinheiro will take on Gillian Robertson in a Strawweight bout at a UFC event on Nov. 9th, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Pinheiro will look to bounce back, as she's dropped two straight UFC bouts. Her most recent defeat came at the hands of Angela Hill, who bested her with a Mounted Guillotine Choke in the second round of fight back in May. At 3-2-0, a loss would drop Pinheiro's record to .500 in the UFC. Her opponent Robertson, meanwhile, has won two straight and will look to push her streak to three.

Inconsistent ways continue
Pinheiro lost to Angela Hill via submission (guillotine choke) at 4:12 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The loss isn't as concerning for Pinheiro as the manner in which it happened. Known for her grappling game and facing an opponent in Hill that is typically a pure volume striker, Pinheiro fired off seven takedown attempts, landing just one of them. On the flip side, Angela connected on 2-of-6 tries, good for 3:06 worth of control time, eventually earning the submission win via guillotine choke late in Round 2 after grabbing ahold of Luana's neck and sitting down. The Brazilian has now lost back-to-back bouts via stoppage after winning her first three UFC fights via decision.

Scheduled against longtime veteran
Pinheiro is scheduled to compete against Angela Hill in a strawweight fight at the UFC's May 18 event, per Nolan King of USA Today.
ANALYSIS
Having begun her UFC career promisingly, Pinheiro took a step back during 2023. That year, she barely defeated Michelle Waterson-Gomez at UFC 287 and suffered her first finish at the hands of Amanda Ribas. Pinheiro will look to re-establish herself as a top strawweight in 2024, which can be done with an excellent win over one of the UFC's most tenured fighters, who has been finished only twice across her near-decade-long career.

Fades following fast start
Pinheiro lost to Amanda Ribas via TKO (strikes) at 3:35 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This was a classic example of a fighter starting quickly before tiring out and eventually getting finished. Luana looked excellent in Round 1 when the fight took place at boxing range. She became less effective in Round 2 when it turned into more of a kickboxing match. Pinheiro's gas tank was completely emptied in Round 3 following a couple grappling exchanges, and Ribas took full advantage. The Brazilian entered with a 3-0 record with the UFC, but the first of those wins came via DQ (Randa Markos) and the last two via decision (Michelle Waterson, Sam Hughes). There's not much to be excited about here despite the early success.

Scheduled to fight Ribas
Pinheiro will compete against Amanda Ribas in a strawweight fight at UFC Vegas 82 on Nov. 18, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Next up for Pinheiro is fellow 29-year-old Ribas, who will look to get back on track after getting knocked out by Maycee Barber in a flyweight fight at UFC on ABC 5 last June. Currently, Pinheiro has no finishes with the promotion but a 3-0 record as well.
