So, I’ve been digging into this fighter, Julia Polastri, lately. It’s been quite a ride, let me tell you. Started off like I always do, just poking around, seeing what’s up with her.

First thing I did was watch some of her fights. Found this one where she got her UFC contract – that was a big one. She took on Patricia Alujas and finished her with a submission. Pretty slick, if you ask me. That was back in September 2023, during the Dana White’s Contender Series. Good stuff, but it’s just the beginning of the story.
Then, I stumbled upon her match against Cory McKenna. Man, that was a nail-biter. It went to a split decision, and Polastri edged it out. Two judges gave it to her, one to McKenna. That was at UFC Fight Night 244, not too long ago. I was on the edge of my seat watching that one. The crowd was so hyped during the match.
- Watched Julia Polastri’s fight against Patricia Alujas
- Looked into her bout with Cory McKenna
- Checked out her record and recent performances
But it hasn’t all been smooth sailing for Polastri. She stepped in on short notice to replace Polyana Viana and ended up losing to Josefine Knutsson in her UFC debut. That was a tough one, a decision loss. It happened in June. You could tell she was disappointed, but hey, it happens. Even the best have their off days, right?
Then there was this other fight I was reading about, Polastri against Diana Belbita. It seems like Belbita is having a rough go in the UFC, and the talk is that a loss to Polastri wouldn’t help her case. It’s all speculation at this point, but it adds another layer to Polastri’s story.
Recent Findings
I also checked out some commentary on her fight against Knutsson. Some folks were saying the commentary team wasn’t really seeing the fight the way it was going down. Even the round Polastri won, there was some disagreement. It’s all subjective, I guess, but it made me watch it again with a different perspective.

I kept digging, and found out that she had fought against Josefine Knutsson. The pre-fight talk was interesting, with odds and predictions flying around. Knutsson was the favorite, but you never know in this sport. It’s those unexpected moments that really get you hooked, you know?
So, yeah, that’s been my deep dive into Julia Polastri’s career so far. It’s been a mix of highs and lows, wins and losses. But that’s what makes it interesting, right? I was exhausted after researching everything, but it was well worth it. She’s definitely a fighter to keep an eye on. I’ll be following her journey, that’s for sure.
