Nicolle Caliari

Nicolle Caliari, a 27-year-old Brazilian fighter with a 9-4-0 professional record, competes as an orthodox stance athlete in the women's flyweight division. Her fighting style reflects a grappler's approach, evidenced by her 3.38 takedown average per 15 minutes and 1.0 submission average, though her striking output remains modest at 2.88 strikes landed per minute with 39% accuracy.

Caliari absorbs significant damage at 5.59 strikes per minute while maintaining 52% striking defense, suggesting she relies on her wrestling and submission threat to control fights rather than volume striking. Her recent form shows mixed results: she submitted Corinne Laframboise in round one on September 10, 2024, and secured another submission victory over Shauna Bannon in May 2026, but suffered a third-round TKO loss to Carli Judice in July 2025 and dropped a split decision to Ernesta Kareckaite in January 2025.

With a 50% takedown defense and a 29% takedown accuracy rate, Caliari remains vulnerable to opponents who can neutralize her grappling or capitalize on her defensive striking gaps, making her next matchup critical for establishing consistency at the elite level.
