The 'courtship' between UFC and Jennifer goes back a long way. The Brazilian, Invicta FC flyweight champion and considered by many to be the best fighter in the category in the world, is about to debut in the organization at UFC Belém, in early February. But she ended up refusing to fight against Valentina Shevchenko, claiming that, having fought a five-round fight at the beginning of December, he would not be able to heal his injuries and prepare to face the Kyrgyzstani. Therefore, Priscila Pedrita was called up for the show. After refusing, the Chute Boxe athlete finally signed with Ultimate.
In his history as a professional, Jennifer maia has 15 wins, four defeats and one draw. In her last fight she defeated the Polish Agnieszka Niedzwiedz, in a unanimous decision by the judges and defended the Invicta FC title for the second time.
