Stoppage win after weight miss
Carolina defeated Julija Stoliarenko via TKO (punches) at 4:52 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It would have been a solid performance from Carolina had she not missed weight by three pounds Friday morning. It marked the second time in her UFC run she struggled with the scale, and it's officially something to keep an eye on moving forward. Inside the Octagon, Luana stuffed 4-of-5 Stoliarenko takedown attempts and closed with a ridiculous 138-21 edge in total strikes landed. Carolina doesn't hit hard and relies on volume to be successful, as we saw here. Unfortunately, none of that will matter unless she gets the weight-cutting issues under control.

Misses weight
Carolina came in three pounds over the 126-pound weight limit for Saturday's flyweight bout versus Julija Stoliarenko, MMA Junkie reports.
ANALYSIS

ANALYSIS
Both fighters will be coming off a win in their most recent bouts. While Carolina holds the superior record in the UFC (4-3 vs. 2-5), their common opponent, Molly McCann, defeated Carolina in March 2022 but lost to Stoliarenko in July.

Upsets debut Ivana Petrovic
Carolina defeated Ivana Petrovic via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Carolina continues to outperform expectations, putting forth reasonably solid performances in fights in which very few people are giving her a chance to win. She by no means overwhelmed the debuting Petrovic in this one, but Carolina was able to use her large frame to rack up 5:45 worth of control time, while her output in the striking game also helped pave the way to victory. The Brazilian improves to 4-3 in her first seven UFC bouts with the win.
