Losing streak hits four Pinheiro lost to Tecia Pennington via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.

Impact While the end result was disappointing, it was a fairly competent performance from Pinheiro as a +260 underdog. She predictably struggled on the feet, absorbing far too many big blows from Pennington, but she was able to get her grappling game going. Pinheiro landed 5-of-10 takedown attempts, with the difference in the fight being her inability to make any headway with her positional advantage. The Brazilian has lost four fights in a row and is without a victory dating back to April 2023. It would be shocking if Pinheiro was granted another opportunity with the company.
