Top Brazilian prospect Elisandra Ferreira has officially joined the Professional Fighters League, MMA Fighting has learned, and she wants a quick rise to a strawweight title.
“Lili” enters the promotion after capturing and defending the Invicta FC atomweight belt, and following it up with a strawweight title win in Karate Combat earlier this year. On a seven-fight winning streak combining both sports, Ferreira will continue at 115 pounds for her career in PFL.
Ferreira, 28, holds a professional MMA
record of 9-2. Her only loss in her past eight fights was a controversial atomweight title bout in Canada, when she lost a decision after three alleged uncalled fouls.
“A new challenge ahead,” Ferreira told MMA Fighting. “I’m very grateful to my manager, my team, and the Professional Fighters League for the opportunity to compete on one of the biggest stages in global MMA. I’m motivated, focused, and ready to embrace this new journey. Fight news coming soon.”
PFL is yet to announce the promotional debut for Ferreira, but she’s currently expected to fight in the first half of 2026. The company has yet to crown champions in several weight classes after moving away from the season format, and is now building a new strawweight division.
