Perth, Australia — September 27, 2025
Brazilian strawweight Alexia Thainara (9-2) delivered a clinical performance at UFC Fight Night: Ulberg vs. Reyes, outpointing Thai veteran Loma Lookboonmee (9-5) over three dominant rounds. Judges scored the bout 30-27 across the board, as Thainara showcased superior range management, volume striking, and defensive grappling inside RAC Arena.
Thainara’s Precision Neutralizes Lookboonmee’s Muay Thai
From the opening bell, Thainara established control with crisp jabs, lateral movement, and well-timed counters. Lookboonmee, known for her elite clinch game and Muay Thai pedigree, struggled to close distance or initiate meaningful offense. Thainara’s footwork and reach advantage kept her out of danger while landing clean shots from the outside.
In Round 2, Thainara mixed in body kicks and takedown feints, further disrupting Lookboonmee’s rhythm. By Round 3, the Brazilian was in full command—dictating pace, stuffing clinch attempts, and landing combinations that sealed the decision.
“I knew she’d be dangerous in the clinch,” Thainara said post-fight. “So I stayed long, stayed smart, and made her miss.”
Lookboonmee’s Offense Stifled
Loma Lookboonmee entered the bout with experience and a reputation for technical striking, but Thainara’s range control and defensive awareness proved too much. Lookboonmee landed a few clean shots in Round 1 but failed to adjust as the fight progressed. The loss drops her to 9-5 and highlights the need for evolution against rangier, high-volume opponents.
Thainara’s Rise in the Strawweight Division
With the win, Alexia Thainara improves to 9-2 and continues her ascent in the UFC’s strawweight division. Her ability to neutralize elite strikers and control tempo makes her a compelling prospect in a division stacked with talent.
