• The result gave Godínez a second straight victory in 2025.
• It pushed her back into the strawweight contender conversation before UFC 327.

Key moments

• Outworked Polastri over three rounds for a unanimous decision.
• The fight took place in Mexico City on the March 2025 card.

• It set up the September Noche UFC appearance against Elise Reed.

Godínez kept her quick-turnaround UFC schedule moving with a clear decision over Ariane Carnelossi in Phoenix.

Key moments

• Beat Carnelossi by unanimous decision at UFC 274.
• The judges scored it widely for Godínez after three rounds.
• It gave her a second UFC win in a three-fight stretch before the next step up against Angela Hill.

• The win was Godínez's first inside the Octagon.
• It started the whirlwind October 2021 sequence that continued a week later against Luana Carolina.
