Taking on Alencar in Vegas
Carnelossi will face Talita Alencar in a strawweight bout at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas on Nov. 1, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Carnelossi sits at 3-2 in the UFC and is coming off a win via disqualification. After a recent bout with Loma Lookboonmee was cancelled, as Carnelossi needed to undergo face surgery, she'll look to stay on the winning side of the Octagon against Alencar, a slightly less-experienced fighter at the UFC level with a record of 2-1 in the promotion.

Gifted DQ victory from opponent
Carnelossi defeated Piera Rodriguez via DQ (illegal headbutt) at 3:16 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Fighting for the first time in more than two years, Carnelossi was getting dominated and well on her way to a lopsided defeat before an opening presented itself. Rodriguez landed back-to-back illegal headbutts from top position, the second of which came after a warning from referee Mark Smith. Injured by the blows and likely sensing no upside in continuing, Carnelossi pulled the plug and was awarded the victory after Smith disqualified Rodriguez. The Brazilian has been a member of the UFC roster since September 2019, but has fought just five times during that span (3-2).

No-shows UFC 274 loss
Carnelossi lost to Lupita Godinez via unanimous decision (27-30, 26-30, 26-30) at UFC 274 on Saturday in Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
It's extremely difficult to last the entire 15 minutes and look as bad as Carnelossi did in this one. To say she had nothing for Godinez would be a massive understatement. Carnelossi submitted Istela Nunes in her most recent bout last October on the strength of some strong mat work, but the script was flipped here as Godinez landed all eight of her takedown attempts, good for 13:26 worth of control time. This was a such a bad performance that any good will Carnelossi had built up with victories in her prior two fights has completely evaporated.
