Diana Belbita vs Gloria de Paula
Both Diana and Gloria are pretty fresh in the UFC scene. While Diana came in 2019, Gloria is much more new to the game. After winning against Pauline Macias during Dana White’s Contender Series, she made her UFC debut.
She joined the organization this year and has lost both of her matches. This two-loss streak has converted her pro-MMA record to 5 wins and 4 losses.
If experience is taken into account, the Brazilian fighter might have a slight disadvantage in her next matchup.
On the contrary, her future opponent is coming off a recent victory. The 25-year-old Romanian strawweight has much more fight experience as compared to Paula.
In her career, she has won 14 of her 20 pro MMA fights. She entered the combat sports world at the age of 12. Besides UFC, she has also competed in Real Xtreme Fighting and KSW championships.
The strawweight division is currently ruled by Rose Namajunas after her bout with Zhang Weili
