On Saturday, October 25, 2025 at 10:00 AM, UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi will feature a pivotal strawweight clash between home favoriteJacqueline Amorim and returning veteranMizuki Inoue. Amorim enters the fight on a blistering four-fight UFC winning streak, all by stoppage—three submissions and one TKO—since August 2023. Her most recent victory came on April 26, 2025, when she forced Polyana Viana to tap with a rear-naked choke in the second round, extending her dominance in the octagon. Ranked among the top 10 in the division, Amorim’s relentless grappling pressure, high-volume ground control, and opportunistic finishing instincts have made her one of the most dangerous submission artists in the 115-pound weight class. Her confidence is palpable; after the Viana win, she publicly demanded a top-15 opponent, and UFC matchmakers delivered.

Mizuki Inoue, on the other hand, returns after a 25-month layoff—the longest of her professional career—following a decision win over Hannah Goldy in September 2023. The 31-year-old Japanese striker, a former DEEP and Invicta FC title challenger, has not fought since suffering a loss to Amanda Lemos in early 2023. Inoue’s UFC record stands at 2-1, with her only loss coming via split decision to former champion Zhang Weili. Known for her elite boxing, lightning-fast combinations, and unorthodox footwork, Inoue’s return is one of the most anticipated comebacks in women’s MMA. However, questions loom over her ring rust, conditioning, and whether her striking can survive Amorim’s relentless takedown attempts. The stakes are high: a loss could mean Inoue’s UFC departure, while a win could reignite her path to a title shot.

The key matchup hinges on whether Inoue can keep the fight standing and land clean, fight-altering strikes early, or if Amorim can close the distance and drag the bout to the mat. Inoue’s last three UFC fights have all gone to decision, suggesting she struggles against aggressive grapplers who can neutralize her striking. Amorim, conversely, has never gone the distance in the UFC, and her ability to transition from takedown to submission is elite. Expect Amorim to pressure from the opening bell, using her superior wrestling pedigree to control the pace. If Inoue survives the first round and finds her rhythm, her counter-striking could be lethal—but given her extended absence and Amorim’s proven finisher’s mentality, the smart money is on the Brazilian to secure another submission, likely via rear-naked choke or armbar, before the final bell. This isn’t just a fight—it’s a career-defining moment for both women.
