C&rsquo;est son p\u00e8re qui l&rsquo;a inscrite dans un dojo de karat\u00e9 \u00e0 Curitiba \u00e0 l&rsquo;\u00e2ge de 9 ans, pour apprendre \u00e0 se d\u00e9fendre et gagner confiance en elle. Au d\u00e9but, elle s\u00e9chait les cours. Puis elle a go\u00fbt\u00e9 \u00e0 la comp\u00e9tition, et plus question de d\u00e9crocher. De championne du Br\u00e9sil \u00e0 championne du monde de karat\u00e9, elle a ensuite gliss\u00e9 vers le muay thai et le jiu-jitsu \u2014 deux disciplines qui la conduiront jusqu&rsquo;aux portes de la promotion la plus importante du monde.<\/p>\n<h3>Un palmar\u00e8s construit sur les tapis avant l&rsquo;octogone<\/h3>\n<p>Avant m\u00eame de signer ses premiers contrats MMA, Caliari empilait les titres aux comp\u00e9titions de grappling : championne paranaense et nationale de jiu-jitsu, titr\u00e9e \u00e0 l&rsquo;UAEJJF (UAE Jiu-Jitsu Federation) au niveau international. Sa base de frappe (karat\u00e9 + muay thai) combin\u00e9e \u00e0 ses qualit\u00e9s de soumission font d&rsquo;elle une combattante compl\u00e8te, capable de finir les combats de plusieurs fa\u00e7ons. Elle est aujourd&rsquo;hui entra\u00een\u00e9e \u00e0 Thai Brasil Floripa, sous la direction de Marcio Malko.<\/p>\n<p>Ses d\u00e9buts professionnels en MMA remontent \u00e0 d\u00e9cembre 2015, \u00e0 19 ans. Le parcours avant l&rsquo;UFC comprend notamment un passage \u00e0 l&rsquo;Invicta FC en octobre 2019, o\u00f9 Kay Hansen lui inflige une d\u00e9faite par neck crank au troisi\u00e8me round \u2014 un premier test au haut niveau qui lui en a appris long sur ce qui manquait encore.<\/p>\n<h3>Le Contender Series : le tournant<\/h3>\n<p>Apr\u00e8s une longue parenth\u00e8se et plusieurs combats sur des circuits r\u00e9gionaux br\u00e9siliens, Caliari retrouve son meilleur niveau en 2023-2024. Deux victoires cons\u00e9cutives par soumission sur le Fight Music Show (\u00e9tranglement arri\u00e8re sur Daniela Antonelli en octobre 2023, armbar sur Carolina Jimenez en ao\u00fbt 2023) la propulsent vers Dana White&rsquo;s Contender Series. Le 10 septembre 2024, elle cl\u00f4t le d\u00e9bat en premi\u00e8re round en 4 minutes 45 face \u00e0 la Canadienne Corinne Laframboise avec un armbar impeccable. Contrat UFC sign\u00e9 dans la foul\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<h3>Les d\u00e9buts UFC en flyweight : deux le\u00e7ons difficiles<\/h3>\n<p>Son entr\u00e9e dans l&rsquo;octogone le 11 janvier 2025 contre la Lituanienne Ernesta Kareckaite se solde par une d\u00e9faite aux points \u2014 un bapt\u00eame s\u00e9v\u00e8re, ma\u00eetris\u00e9 en d\u00e9cision. Six mois plus tard, \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 318 le 19 juillet 2025, c&rsquo;est Carli Judice qui la stoppe par TKO au troisi\u00e8me round (1:30), d&rsquo;un genou au foie suivi de frappes au sol. Deux d\u00e9faites qui posent la vraie question : la division flyweight est-elle vraiment le bon \u00e9chelon ?<\/p>\n<h3>La descente en strawweight et la premi\u00e8re victoire UFC<\/h3>\n<p>Caliari prend la d\u00e9cision de descendre en strawweight, et \u00e7a change tout. Le 16 mai 2026 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC Vegas 117 (Meta APEX, Las Vegas), elle affronte l&rsquo;Irlandaise Shauna Bannon et domine l&rsquo;ensemble des \u00e9changes au sol. Au troisi\u00e8me round, apr\u00e8s un takedown en clinch suivi d&rsquo;un passage en demi-garde, elle serre un arm-triangle choke qui force l&rsquo;abandon \u00e0 3:08 du round. Premi\u00e8re victoire \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC, obtenue en finition \u2014 exactement \u00e0 la Caliari.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c0 29 ans, avec un record de 9 victoires pour 4 d\u00e9faites dont 100 % de finitions \u00e0 la victoire, la Br\u00e9silienne de Curitiba s&rsquo;installe pour de bon dans le paysage de la strawweight UFC.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/nicolle-caliari\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/verdictmma.com\/fighter\/nicolle-caliari\">VerdictMMA<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cagesidepress.com\/2026\/05\/16\/nicolle-caliari-snags-first-ufc-win-subs-shauna-bannon-in-strawweight-move\/\">CageSidePress<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nicolle Caliari, 29 ans, Br\u00e9silienne de Curitiba, combattante UFC en strawweight.
