Catchweight fight for UFC Vegas 113
Moura is scheduled to compete against Cong Wang in a catchweight fight at UFC Vegas 113 on Saturday, MMA Junkie reports.
ANALYSIS
Moura missed the UFC's flyweight limit by 1.5 pounds. But because Wang did the same, their fight will go as planned, with neither woman bonus-eligible Saturday. Even though Wang's 2025 includes a 2-0 record, Moura's is not too shabby, strongly backed up by a win over former UFC Flyweight Championship challenger Lauren Murphy.

Takes decision from Lauren Murphy
Moura defeated Lauren Murphy via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Nashville.
ANALYSIS
Moura did enough to win this fight over the course of the first two rounds, but she never looked the part of the -650 favorite she entered as. Toss in the fact she was facing a 41-year-old opponent that hadn't fought since January 2023, and you have a middling performance despite the victory. Moura used her speed and athleticism edge to pick Murphy apart on the feet. She appeared to be cruising to a sweep on the scorecards before Murphy was able nearly pull off a late miracle with a guillotine choke. Once Moura escaped, the result wasn't in doubt. The 31-year-old Brazilian has won three of her first four UFC fights.

Next bout scheduled
Moura will face off against Lauren Murphy at a UFC event on July 12, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Moura will face off against a 41-year-old Murphy, fresh off a 2.5-year absence from the UFC, this July. The 31-year-old Brazilian, who is 2-1 during her time with the UFC, will look to prevail in a battle of relative youth versus experience.

Cruises in flyweight debut
Moura defeated Veronica Hardy via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC 309 on Saturday in New York City.
ANALYSIS
Moura was forced to move up to flyweight after missing weight for her previous two strawweight bouts. Oddly enough, she dominated Hardy thanks to her size and strength advantage. Moura mixed in a few notable blows here and there, but it was mainly her three takedowns for 4:13 worth of control time which won her the fight. She limited Hardy's space for 10 minutes then coasted in Round 3 when it was clear she would be winning a decision. How effective Moura will be at flyweight over the long term remains to be seen, but it's clear she should have been fighting at 125 pounds all along.

Set to take on Hardy
Moura will face Veronica Hardy in a flyweight bout at UFC 309 on Nov. 16 in New York, Alexander K. Lee of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hardy has been on a tear of late with three consecutive wins, and Moura faces a tough challenge to bounce back here. Plus, she has missed weight in her last two bouts, so there's no question she's been trending in the wrong direction of late. Moura has gone 0-2 at the UFC level.
