The relationship she built with former two-division champion Amanda Nunes advances Lucindo’s path in the footsteps of great Brazilian fighters before her. Lucindo said she met Nunes after her UFC debut and that led to Nunes visiting her during training camp to pass on some knowledge.
Lucindo said she was able to intensely pick Nunes’ brain and praised his fight IQ and professionalism.

“We had an exchange of experiences and she taught me a lot,” Lucindo said. “She showed me how a champion behaves and I could see my future very similar to hers. He’s my idol, I admire him. She gave a lot of advice, it was amazing.
Receiving these lessons is one thing, but putting them into practice is what will keep Lucindo on the upward trajectory she’s set after back-to-back UFC victories.
After earning a performance bonus for her submission victory over Polyana Viana in August 2023, Lucindo takes her toughest and most experienced test yet in Kowalkiewicz. The Polish veteran is in arguably the best form since surging toward a title shot, riding a four-fight winning streak this weekend. It’s an opportunity Lucindo considers crucial early in her career, and she believes this match showcases her strength.
