Invicta FC

In her Invicta FC debut, Souza defeated Katja Kankaanpää to win the Strawweight title at Invicta FC 12: Kankaanpää vs. Souza.[7][8][9] Just like fellow Brazilian and former Invicta FC Atomweight Champion Herica Tiburcio, Souza went on to win the title in her very first fight on both the promotion and outside of her native Brazil.

Souza successfully defended the title against DeAnna Bennett at Invicta FC 15: Cyborg vs. Ibragimova on January 16, 2016. She won the fight via TKO due to a combination of body kick and punches.[10]

In her second title defense, Souza faced Angela Hill at Invicta FC 17: Evinger vs. Schneider on May 7, 2016. She lost the five round bout by split decision.[11]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Souza signed with the UFC in October 2017 and was scheduled to face Jessica Aguilar on February 18, 2018, at UFC Fight Night: Cowboy vs. Medeiros.[12] However, Souza pulled out on February 10 due to a hand injury.[13][14]

Souza was scheduled to face Carla Esparza on April 27, 2019, at UFC Fight Night: Jacaré vs. Hermansson.[19] However, it was reported that Souza pulled out of the bout, citing ankle injury and she was replaced by current Virna Jandiroba.[20]

Souza was scheduled to face Cynthia Calvillo on July 13, 2019, at UFC on ESPN+ 13.[21] However, on June 7, 2019, it was reported that Calvillo was forced to pull out of the bout due to a broken foot and she was replaced by Brianna Van Buren.[22] She lost the fight via unanimous decision.[23]

Souza was expected to face Virna Jandiroba, replacing Cortney Casey, on December 7, 2019, at UFC on ESPN 7.[24] In turn Souza withdrew from the bout due to back injury and she was replaced by Mallory Martin[25]

Souza was expected to face promotional newcomer Kanako Murata on November 14, 2020, at UFC Fight Night: Felder vs. dos Anjos.[28] However, Souza pulled out in early November due to an undisclosed injury and was replaced by Randa Markos.[29]
