Now, Amorim has scheduled her third UFC fight. The 28-year-old began her UFC career with a decision loss to Sam Hughes but bounced back with a TKO win over Montserrat Ruiz.
Cruises to first UFC victory
Amorim defeated Montserrat Ruiz via TKO (strikes) at 3:41 of Round 3 at UFC on ESPN 51 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Entering as a -245 favorite, this appeared to be a prime rebound spot for Amorim on the heels of her unanimous decision defeat to Sam Hughes in her company debut this past April and she took full advantage. Unlike the Hughes fight in which Amorim started quickly and faded, she kept up the pace here, simply overwhelming Ruiz from bell-to-bell. The Brazilian displayed solid wrestling and some vicious ground-and-pound. It's hard to get a read on Amorim's long-term potential given she has all of eight pro fights under her belt at age 28, but this was a nice effort.

Slated to face Ruiz
Amorim will take on Montserrat Ruiz in a strawweight bout at a UFC event on Aug. 12 in Las Vegas, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports Friday.
ANALYSIS
Amorim is fresh off her UFC debut in early April, falling to Sam Hughes via unanimous decision. She'll look to get on the winning side of the octagon against an opponent who is 1-1 in UFC matches. Amorim checks in at three inches taller than Ruiz, with about six more inches of wingspan as well.

Fades following quick start
Amorim lost to Sam Hughes via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC 287 on Saturday in Miami.
ANALYSIS
Making her UFC debut in her seventh professional fight, Amorim looked like a competitor that had never been out of the first round before. She dominated the opening five minutes, nearly choking Hughes out on multiple occasions, but once the clock hit Round 2, Amorim was finished. Her gas tank immediately evaporated, and she generated zero offense of her own over the course of the final ten minutes. The Brazilian is a wizard on the mat, but it's difficult to take any competitor with this lack of cardio seriously until she fixes the issue.

ANALYSIS
Amorim signed a deal with UFC in September of 2022, and this bout will be her debut. She has a perfect 6-0 record as a professional fighter, highlighted by becoming the LFA strawweight champion immediately before signing with UFC. Hughes has a mediocre track record, but she did win two of her three matchups in 2022.
