Jennifer Apreciada Gonçalves de Maia[3] (born October 6, 1988) is a Brazilian professional mixed martial artist who competes in the Women's Flyweight division. Maia trains at Chute Boxe Academy in Brazil. A professional since 2009, Maia is most notable for her 12 bout stint in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and for being the former Invicta FC Flyweight World Champion.[4]

Background

Maia was born in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, on October 6, 1988. Playing soccer since childhood, Maia transitioned to muay Thai, at the age of 15.[1][2] She won several national titles in the discipline before turning to boxing and then mixed martial arts.[1][2]

Boxing career

On March 29, 2008, Maia made her professional Boxing debut at Centri de Boxe in Curitiba, Brazil. She faced Michelle Bonassoli in an eight-round bout that went the distance and saw her victorious via unanimous decision.

Her second bout was against Juliana de Aguiar, another eight-round bout in which she won via points.

The last boxing match Maia competed in before transitioning into MMA was on August 5, 2009. She defeated Lorena Nancy Lopez via TKO in the fourth round.[5]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Maia made her professional MMA debut on December 5, 2009. She won her first four fights, finishing each of them in the first round with three submissions and one TKO.

On October 28, 2011, Maia suffered her first loss to fellow Brazilian Vanessa Porto at Kumite MMA Combate. She was defeated by a second-round armbar.[6]

Maia rebounded with a second-round submission victory over Tatiane Porfirio Aguiar at Pink Fight 1 on January 29, 2012.[7]

Maia was scheduled to face Vanessa Porto in a rematch at Pink Fight 2,[8] but she withdrew from the fight in order to compete in the Cage Warriors women's flyweight title tournament.[9]

At Cage Warriors Fight Night 4 on March 16, 2012, Maia suffered a somewhat controversial knockout loss to future UFC fighter Sheila Gaff. At the start of the fight, when both fighters met in the center of the cage to touch gloves, Gaff unloaded a flurry of punches that knocked Maia out in just 10 seconds.[10]

Maia next faced future UFC Women's Strawweight Championship Jéssica Andrade on December 15, 2012, at Samurai FC 9: Water vs. Fire. She won the fight via unanimous decision.[11]

Invicta Fighting Championships

Maia made her Invicta Fighting Championships debut at Invicta FC 5: Penne vs. Waterson on April 5, 2013, against former Bellator Women's Strawweight Champion Zoila Frausto Gurgel.[12] She won the fight via unanimous decision.[13]

Maia then faced off against Leslie Smith in a #1 contender's fight for a shot at the Flyweight Championship held by Barb Honchak at Invicta FC 6: Coenen vs. Cyborg on July 13, 2013.[14] She lost the fight via unanimous decision.[15]

After returning from the regional scene in Brazil, in which she went 2–0, Maia next faced DeAnna Bennett on December 5, 2014, at Invicta FC 10: Waterson vs. Tiburcio.[16] She lost the fight via unanimous decision.[17]

Invicta FC Flyweight Champion

Following the loss, Maia once again returned to the regional scene in Brazil, going 3–0 before returning to Invicta. She next faced Vanessa Porto on March 11, 2016, at Invicta FC 16: Hamasaki vs. Brown for the interim Invicta FC Flyweight Championship in a rematch of their 2011 bout.[18] She won the fight via unanimous decision to capture the title.[19]

Due to long-time Invicta FC Flyweight Champion Barb Honchak still unable to compete in a title unification bout, Maia was scheduled to face Roxanne Modafferi in a defense of her interim title on September 23, 2016, at Invicta FC 19: Maia vs. Modafferi.[20] However, during the official weigh-in, it was announced that Barb Honchak was stripped of her title and that Maia would now be defending her undisputed championship at the event.[21] Maia successfully defended her title, winning the fight via split decision.[22]

Maia's next title defense came against undefeated Agnieszka Niedźwiedź on December 8, 2017, at Invicta FC 26: Maia vs. Niedzwiedz.[23] She won the fight via unanimous decision, successfully defending her title for the second time.[24]

As a result, she was fined 30 percent of her purse, and the bout proceeded a catchweight fight.[32] Maia won the fight via unanimous decision.[33]
