N\u00e9e le 8 mai 1992 \u00e0 Recife (Pernambuco), elle accumule sept titres de championne nationale br\u00e9silienne de judo et deux titres panam\u00e9ricains, avec des passages en Grand Slam et Grand Prix internationaux. Double ceinture noire \u2014 judo et jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien \u2014, elle arrive en MMA en 2018 avec un bagage technique que la plupart des grappleuses n&rsquo;approchent pas en carri\u00e8re enti\u00e8re.<\/p>\n<h3>Le chemin vers l&rsquo;UFC<\/h3>\n<p>En 2019, \u00ab\u00a0The Witch\u00a0\u00bb bat une certaine Karine Silva au Br\u00e9sil \u2014 une victoire qui prend un sens particulier des ann\u00e9es plus tard. Elle quitte ensuite Recife pour s&rsquo;installer aux \u00c9tats-Unis, d&rsquo;abord \u00e0 Huntington Beach (Californie), o\u00f9 elle int\u00e8gre Kings MMA et devient partenaire d&rsquo;entra\u00eenement de Cris Cyborg d\u00e8s 2021. Ce passage en Am\u00e9rique du Nord l&rsquo;aff\u00fbte comme combattante MMA compl\u00e8te. En septembre 2023, elle s&rsquo;offre un ticket UFC via la Contender Series en soumettant Rainn Guerrero \u00e0 l&rsquo;armbar en moins de cinq minutes au premier round.<\/p>\n<h3>Ses d\u00e9buts \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC et une mont\u00e9e en r\u00e9gime<\/h3>\n<p>Le 4 mai 2024, UFC 301 \u00e0 Rio de Janeiro : Barbosa fait ses d\u00e9buts \u00e0 domicile et s&rsquo;impose aux points sur Ernesta Kareckaite sur trois rounds, pour une d\u00e9cision unanime sans discussion. Elle encaisse ensuite une d\u00e9faite aux points face \u00e0 Miranda Maverick en juillet 2024, puis repart de l&rsquo;avant en avril 2025 avec une soumission express sur Diana Belbita \u2014 arm-triangle au premier round, 4:13 de combat. En ao\u00fbt 2025 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 319, elle retrouve Karine Silva, celle qu&rsquo;elle avait battue six ans plus t\u00f4t : Silva prend sa revanche aux points. Barbosa ne se laisse pas abattre et revient en avril 2026 avec une victoire en d\u00e9cision majoritaire sur Melissa Gatto.<\/p>\n<h3>Style et forces<\/h3>\n<p>Le judo de Barbosa n&rsquo;est pas un argument de CV : c&rsquo;est son outil de combat au quotidien. Elle cr\u00e9e le chaos debout avec des entr\u00e9es de projection que les flyweights UFC voient rarement, et ses finitions au sol \u2014 deux armbars, un arm-triangle, un rear-naked choke parmi ses victoires par soumission \u2014 montrent qu&rsquo;elle sait conclure une fois l&rsquo;adversaire au sol. Son surnom \u00ab\u00a0The Witch\u00a0\u00bb colle bien : elle a un sens de l&rsquo;angle et du timing qui peut d\u00e9router les combattantes habitu\u00e9es \u00e0 des styles plus lisibles.<\/p>\n<h3>Statut actuel<\/h3>\n<p>Avec un bilan de 9-4 (dont 2-2 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC), Dione Barbosa figure parmi les pr\u00e9tendantes s\u00e9rieuses du flyweight f\u00e9minin. Son prochain combat est programm\u00e9 le 19 juillet 2026 contre Veronica Hardy. \u00c0 34 ans, elle est en train de transformer une carri\u00e8re de judoka d&rsquo;\u00e9lite en histoire MMA qui m\u00e9rite d&rsquo;\u00eatre suivie.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/dione-barbosa\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.criscyborg.com\/dione-barbosa-wins-ufc-debut-in-rio\">CrisCyborg.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/verdictmma.com\/fighter\/dione-the-witch-barbosa\">VerdictMMA<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dione Barbosa, \u00ab\u00a0The Witch\u00a0\u00bb : judoka 7x championne nationale br\u00e9silienne reconvertie en MMA, aujourd&rsquo;hui 9-4 au flyweight f\u00e9minin UFC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":102308,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"fighter_category":[69978],"fighter_tag":[],"class_list":["post-104541","fighter_profile","type-fighter_profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fighter_category-womens-flyweight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
