Booked for Noche UFC
BantamweightUFC
July 9, 2025
Rendon (undisclosed) will take on the debuting Alice Pereira in a bantamweight matchup scheduled for Noche UFC on Sept. 13, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Rendon last appeared in the UFC back in March of 2024 when she took a unanimous decision loss to Daria Zhelezniakova. While her takedowns were working in that fight, she was badly out-landed in the striking department, coming up short in all three rounds. She was scheduled for a bounce-back opportunity against Melissa Mullins later that year, but withdrew due to an undisclosed injury, and little has been heard from her since. She now takes on the debuting Pereira, who is just 19 years old at the time of booking and sports a perfect 5-0 record on the regional scene.

Rendon is fighting Melissa Mullins at UFC Vegas 100 on Nov. 9, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.

Drops decision in Vegas
BantamweightUFC
March 23, 2024
Rendon lost to Darya Zheleznyakova via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Every single week it's becoming more and more clear that judges simply aren't valuing takedowns and ground control time anymore unless you're doing significant damage on the mat. Rendon had no luck on the feet against the debuting Zheleznyakova, but she did connect on 3-of-6 takedowns for 5:24 worth of control time. None of the three judges felt that was enough to win. Rendon just turned 35 years of age, and this was just her seventh professional bout. She won the first six, but all came via decision and all came against extremely low-level competition. Rendon is nothing more than roster depth.
Zheleznyakova fight scheduled
BantamweightUFC
December 13, 2023
Rendon is scheduled to compete against Darya Zheleznyakova in a bantamweight fight during the UFC's March 23 event, per Carlos Contreras Legaspi of ESPN Deportes.
ANALYSIS
According to Legaspi, Rendon was initially scheduled to compete against Nora Cornolle, who is now unavailable. So instead, Rendon will fight Zheleznyakova, who is trying to make her UFC debut after a previous bout withdrawal she committed herself.
Takes split decision in UFC debut
BantamweightUFC
September 23, 2023
Rendon defeated Tamires Vidal via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This fight was close, but all things considered, Rendon looked pretty good for a 34-year-old who entered with all of four professional bouts under her belt. It took Rendon the better part of a round to find her range, but once she did, she was able to close the distance between her and Vidal and drag her opponent to the mat three times over the course of the final ten minutes. The control time was enough to earn her the win in the eyes of two of the three judges. Rendon's upside would appear to be quite low despite her victory here.
