Out of Foro fight
Caliari has withdrawn from her scheduled fight against Carol Foro at UFC Seattle, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear why Caliari had to pull out of the fight, but her withdrawal means she will have to wait a bit longer for her next shot at capturing her first UFC win. Stephanie Luciano will step in as Caliari's replacement.

Booked in Seattle
Caliari will take on Carol Foro at UFC Seattle on March 28, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Caliari won her shot in the UFC via Contender Series in September of 2024 but came up short in both trips to the Octagon in 2025, most recently losing via third-round stoppage to Carli Judice in July. She now draws Foro, another DWCS product, but one who is making her debut.

Still searching for first UFC win
Caliari lost to Carli Judice via TKO (strikes) at 1:30 of Round 3 at UFC 318 on Saturday in New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Making her second appearance with the UFC, Caliari again displayed plenty of toughness before coming up short. The Brazilian made a concerted effort to try to get Judice to the mat, but was only able to land 1-of-8 takedown attempts. She was overwhelmed on the feet, dropping the significant strike battle by a 109-32 count. Caliari eventually ate a knee to the body early in Round 3 which crumbled her to the mat and led to the finish. Set to turn 29 years of age in November, Caliari will likely need a win her next time out in order to extend her time with the company.

Seeks first UFC win
Caliari will take on Carli Judice in a flyweight bout at UFC 318 on July 19, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Caliari is coming off a narrow loss via split decision to Ernesta Kareckaite in her UFC debut. Prior to that, she hadn't lost a professional fight since 2019. Now, she'll look to notch her first UFC victory against an opponent in Judice who just checked that box off for herself with a win back in March.

Strong showing in debut loss
Caliari lost to Ernesta Kareckaite via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The numbers say this fight was lopsided, especially on the feet, but Caliari showed well in her UFC debut, and no one would have batted an eye had she been awarded the decision. Caliari went to her wrestling game over and over, landing 3-of-14 takedown attempts. She did some nice work from top position, mostly in Round 1. The Brazilian's struggles came in the stand-up, at which point the taller, longer Kareckaite got the better of the striking exchanges between the two. Caliari's upside appears quite limited, but it wouldn't be the least bit shocking to see her pick up a handful of wins during her UFC run.
