Brazilian fighter Larissa Pacheco admitted that after being released from the PFL, she intends to do everything possible to return to the UFC and compete again for a championship belt. Pacheco previously fought in the UFC in 2014-2015.
I’ll do whatever it takes to show them that I belong in the UFC. To show I can deliver results, make the division exciting, and put on great fights. I’m not embarrassed or afraid to take a few steps back if it helps me move forward and earn another shot in the UFC to show what I can really do.
"Dana, I’m here, ready and willing. I was just a kid when I joined the UFC. I’m mature now, I’m structured, I can make weight and put on a show. Just call me. I’ve achieved a lot already — now it’s time to come back home, and hopefully soon, to fight for that UFC belt," Pacheco said
The 31-year-old Pacheco’s last fight was against Cristiane Justino, better known as Cris Cyborg, in October 2024 at the PFL Super Fights – Battle of the Giants. Pacheco lost that fight by unanimous decision. Her record stands at 23 wins and 5 losses.
