Fighter Profile: Iasmin Lucindo

Background

Brazilian strawweight from Fortaleza, one of the youngest ranked fighters in the UFC women’s 115lb division. Her professional record is 18-6 and she is ranked eighth at strawweight.

Career timeline

• Joined the UFC as a teenager and built a strong run through the strawweight ranks.
• Last competed on 9 August 2025, beating Angela Hill at a UFC Fight Night.
• Withdrew from a December 2025 bout after a failed drug test.
• Accepted a nine-month suspension from Combat Sports Anti-Doping for mesterolone, an anabolic agent, from an out-of-competition sample collected on 24 September 2025 in Feira de Santana, Brazil.
• CSAD found she did not intentionally use the substance to gain a performance advantage. She cooperated fully and provided documentation from a Brazilian pharmacy that regularly compounded products containing mesterolone and could not rule out contamination of the supplements she had been supplied. The Nevada commission’s suspension aligned with the UFC sanction.
• The ban ran from 24 September 2025 to 24 June 2026, so she is now eligible to compete.

Fight craft

Lucindo is a volume striker with a good jab and an improving wrestling game, and she has been one of the more consistent performers in the division for her age. Her career trajectory has been unusually fast, which cuts both ways — a lot of experience early, but also a record with more losses than a top-ten fighter usually carries, most of them from being matched hard young.

In the modern MMA landscape

Our wider MMA analysis lists Lucindo in its anti-doping table and the entry is accurate. The finding behind it matters, though: CSAD accepted contaminated compounded supplements as the explanation and found no intent, which is why the sanction was nine months rather than the standard two years. She has been eligible to return since 24 June 2026.
