She only has five career stoppages, and her last three victories were all by decision, but she has also never been finished in her career.

Jandiorba is 1-1 in the UFC, and 15-1 overall with 12 career submissions. She dropped her opening bout in Dana White’s promotion to Carla Esparza via decision, but bounced back with a second-round rear-naked choke of Mallory Martin in December of 2019.
