Jaqueline Amorim

Jaqueline Amorim is a Brazilian mixed martial artist competing in the UFC women’s strawweight division. As of September 23, 2026, the UFC lists her as an active athlete, and a September 16, 2026 UFC Brazil roster update identifies her among Brazilian fighters under UFC contract. She is from Manaus, Brazil, trains at American Top Team, and is recognized for her Brazilian jiu-jitsu-based approach.

Amorim began training Brazilian jiu-jitsu at age six and later became a second-degree black belt. Before joining the UFC, she won the LFA strawweight championship and successfully defended the belt once. She made her UFC debut on April 8, 2023, and earned her first UFC victory later that year with a stoppage of Montserrat Conejo Ruiz. Her subsequent UFC victories included submission wins over Cory McKenna, Vanessa Demopoulos, Polyana Viana and Loma Lookboonmee.

Amorim’s style is built around aggressive grappling, submission transitions and a willingness to attack from unusual positions, including pulling guard. The UFC has described her as a high-level grappler who uses reversals and transitions to create finishing opportunities. Her documented honors also include multiple IBJJF world championships at colored belts and a No-Gi Pan Championship at black belt.
