Psycho
Julia Polastri
Career overview
Julia Polastri, who holds a 14-6-0 professional record, is an unranked Brazilian strawweight who fights from an orthodox stance. Nicknamed “Psycho,” Polastri profiles as a high-volume striker, landing 6.22 significant strikes per minute with 56% accuracy while averaging only 0.62 takedowns per 15 minutes.
Her willingness to maintain an aggressive pace creates consistent offense, although she also absorbs 5.18 significant strikes per minute, leaving her vulnerable during extended exchanges. Polastri’s 80% takedown accuracy shows that her selective wrestling attempts can be effective, but her 57% takedown defense suggests opponents may still find opportunities to control where the fight takes place.
Her recent results illustrate both her offensive upside and inconsistency against established competition. She earned a split-decision victory over Cory McKenna in October 2024, then lost a unanimous decision to Loopy Godinez in March 2025.
Polastri responded with a third-round KO/TKO win over veteran Karolina Kowalkiewicz in October 2025, demonstrating finishing ability beyond her usual output-based approach. However, she most recently dropped a unanimous decision to Talita Alencar in April 2026.
With no next opponent listed and no current ranking, Polastri remains a developing presence in the UFC strawweight division.
