Drops split decision in Vegas
StrawweightUFC
March 15, 2025
Luciano lost to Sam Hughes via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 27-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Luciano had no issues in her UFC debut against Talita Alencar last August but found things much more difficult here against Hughes despite entering as a -165 favorite. Perhaps you could really squint and say the Brazilian deserved both the first and final frames, but Hughes completely dominated in Round 2, and it's likely she was the more effective fighter in Round 1, as well. The good news for Luciano is that she won't be turning 26 years of age until this coming December, so there's plenty of time for her to make improvements moving forward.

August 10, 2024
Luciano defeated Talita Alencar via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This was a rematch of a Contenders Series fight last September that ended in a unanimous draw. Luciano, making her official UFC debut here, left zero doubt which woman was the better fighter. Stephanie used her six-inch height edge to batter Alencar at distance. She landed a Round 3 knockdown and closed with a whopping 72-41 edge in terms of significant strikes landed. She also stuffed 9-of-10 Alencar takedown attempts. It was an excellent showing in a fight which most thought would be plenty competitive. Luciano has theoretical upside given the fact she won't be 25 years of age until mid-December.
