Loma Lookboonmee vs. Jaqueline Amorim: High Stakes Strawweight Bout at UFC Macau

Fan favorite Suphisara “Loma Lookboonmee” Konlak is set for a significant strawweight showdown against Jaqueline “Jacque” Amorim. This highly anticipated bout will take place at UFC Fight Night: Song vs. Figueiredo on May 30, 2026, at the Galaxy Arena in Macau, China. The fight is part of an Asia-focused card, marking the UFC’s fifth visit to Macau and its first since a multi-event partnership with Galaxy Macau was established for 2026-2029.

The UFC Fight Night event is headlined by Song Yadong vs. Deiveson Figueiredo and is part of a three-day Fight Night weekend at Galaxy Arena from May 28-30. Galaxy Arena, Macau’s premier indoor venue, serves as a crucial launchpad for the UFC’s renewed strategic expansion into the Asian market.

For Loma, competing in Macau offers a short journey from Thailand and a valuable opportunity to perform in front of a regional audience that has followed her remarkable journey from a celebrated Muay Thai champion to an established UFC strawweight contender. For Amorim, this event provides another chance to build momentum on an international stage, participating in a card rich with diverse talent from across Asia and Latin America.

Loma Lookboonmee

Loma enters this contest with a professional MMA record of 10-4 and a 7-3 standing within the UFC, competing in the women’s strawweight division at 115 pounds. Born on January 18, 1996, and fighting out of Buriram, Thailand, she represents Tiger Muay Thai. She is widely recognized as Thailand’s first UFC fighter and a multi-time Muay Thai world champion.

Her fighting style is characterized by sharp elbows, powerful kicks, and effective clinch work, complemented by continually improving wrestling and control skills over three rounds. Her notable UFC victories include decision wins against Jinh Yu Frey, Denise Gomes, and Sam Hughes. These results have solidified her reputation as a reliable and consistent presence in the strawweight division, even without a current ranking beside her name.

Jaqueline Amorim

Amorim brings a professional record of 10-2 and a 4-2 run under the UFC banner in the strawweight category to Macau. Born on June 24, 1995, in Manaus, Brazil, she trains at American Top Team in Coconut Creek, Florida. She built her reputation on the regional circuit as an LFA champion before joining the esteemed UFC roster.

Her background is firmly rooted in high-level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and her MMA results distinctly reflect this focus. She has secured multiple first-round submission victories in the UFC, including impressive armbars over Vanessa Demopoulos and Cory McKenna, alongside a late TKO of Montserrat Conejo Ruiz. Amorim has also earned a “Performance of the Night” bonus, underscoring her exceptional finishing ability and knack for creating rapid momentum shifts on the mat.

With both athletes currently positioned just outside the official strawweight rankings, a victory in Macau could be a pivotal moment. It could pave the way for a future bout against a ranked opponent later in 2026 and potentially propel the winner into the broader title conversation at 115 pounds. For the Asian market, this fight serves as a timely and compelling showcase: Thailand’s inaugural UFC female fighter facing off against a high-level Brazilian grappler, all before a live audience at Galaxy Arena, on an evening specifically designed to introduce more fans in the region to the exciting strawweight division.
