Undefeated prospect Zoe Nowicki, 25, makes her LFA debut against Mariana Piccolo on Friday in Ventura, California, as part of her plan to secure a UFC contract this year. With a 19-0 amateur record and 3-0 pro mark, the Michigan wrestler emphasizes a patient approach, calling her career a marathon not a sprint to avoid burnout. She aims to stay active in LFA, potentially win a title, and earn a Contender Series spot by late 2026 or early 2027. This methodical strategy matters for the flyweight division, where rushed prospects often falter; expect her to build hype with finishes before UFC contention.
