When the fight begins, she will be the youngest female fighter in UFC history at 19 years, eight months, and 24 days, according to combat sports database Tapology. The previous record was held by Chan Mi Jeon, who debuted vs. JJ Aldrich in June 2017 at the age of 19 years, nine months, and 13 days.

She debuted in September 2023 with a split decision win over Tamires Vidal before she lost a unanimous decision to Darya Zheleznyakova in March 2024.
