Elise Reed

Elise Reed is an American strawweight with an 8-6-0 professional record who fights from an orthodox stance. At 5-foot-3 with a 63-inch reach, Reed operates primarily as a compact volume striker rather than a committed grappler, landing 3.41 significant strikes per minute while averaging only 0.46 takedowns per 15 minutes.

Her 53% striking accuracy reflects generally efficient offense, although her defensive numbers show the tradeoff involved in her exchanges: she absorbs 3.26 significant strikes per minute and owns a 51% striking defense rate. Reed has converted 60% of her takedown attempts, but her 0.0 submission average indicates that submissions have not been a meaningful part of her UFC attack.

Her takedown defense stands at 53%, leaving her vulnerable against opponents capable of forcing prolonged grappling sequences. Reed earned a unanimous decision over veteran Jessica Penne in October 2024, adding a measured three-round victory to earlier decision wins.

Her next appearance ended differently, as Denise Gomes stopped her by KO/TKO just 30 seconds into the second round in May 2025. Reed was also submitted by Loopy Godinez in the second round of their September 2023 matchup.

With no next opponent listed, Reed currently remains an unranked strawweight seeking consistency after alternating notable wins with decisive stoppage losses.
