Meet UFC debutant Jaqueline Amorim – whose thong bikini snap had fan ‘fainting’

Jaqueline Amorim is making her highly-anticipated debut at UFC 287 – but she's already been turning plenty of heads.

The 6-0 strawweight, who's made the move from the Legacy Fighting Alliance, will be kicking the night off at the Miami-Dade Arena in the first fight of the early prelims against veteran Sam Hughes, who's 7-5-0 in her professional career.

As a BJJ black belt and with five of her six MMA victories coming by way of submission, Amorim, 27, will be quite the threat in the Octagon. But she looks anything but in her stunning social media uploads.

The snaps of her donning a thong bikini were particularly lapped up by her 17.8k Instagram followers, with one joking: "I just fainted at Walmart."

Another hailed: "My new favourite fighter." A third commented: "Beautiful, good, strong and badass." While a fourth said: "How beautiful."

Also amongst the admirers of the Brazilian's good looks is former UFC star Paige VanZant, who regularly gives her uploads a like.

Amorim was the LFA women's strawweight champion at the time of her signing and will no doubt have her future sights set on Zhang Weili, who tops the UFC division.

She transitioned into the world of MMA having won IBJJF, UAEJJF and CBJJ championships by the age of 22, joining the American Top Team gym.

Elsewhere at UFC 287, Kevin Holland will be facing Santiago Ponzinibbio, Jorge Masivdal takes on Gilbert Burns, and Israel Adesanya looks to finally get a win over Alex Pereira in his quest to reclaim middleweight gold.
