Making history as the first female Indian fighter in the UFC, Puja Tomar will debut at UFC Louisville against Rayanne Amanda dos Santos.
Amanda (14-7, 0-1 in UFC) made her own debut in December 2023, losing a controversial decision to Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist Talita Alencar. Before signing with the UFC, Amanda defeated Jillian DeCoursey to win the Invicta FC atomweight championship at Invicta FC 53.
Tomar (8-4) has been a professional MMA fighter for over 10 years but has left the sport several times to pursue a parallel career in Muay Thai. As a former ONE Championship fighter, Tomar went 1-3 with the promotion but owns a notable win over fellow Muay Thai striker Bi Nguyen in 2022.
