Mixed martial arts career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

After going 3–0 as an amateur, Fritzen turned professional in 2015.[3]After turning pro, she compiled a 6–0 record on the regional Brazilian scene, winning the Shooto Brazil Women's Bantamweight Championship at Shooto Brasil 81 against Mariana Morais via unanimous decision[5] and the Shooto Brazil Women's Flyweight Championship against Sidy Rocha at Shooto Brasil 87 via unanimous decision.[6]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

[edit]

Fritzen made her promotional debut against Karol Rosa at UFC Fight Night: Andrade vs. Zhang on August 31, 2019. She lost a close back and forth fight by split decision, in the process suffering her first career loss.[7]

Fritzen was suspended for 6 months by USADA after she tested positive for ostarine as the result of a urine sample collected out-of-competition on February 17, 2020. Lara provided an open container of a dietary supplement that she was using prior to her positive test, and which she declared on her doping control form for analysis at a WADA-accredited laboratory. Although no prohibited substances were listed on the supplement label, the analysis revealed the presence of ostarine in the product. She was eligible to return on August 17, 2020.[8][9]

Fritzen faced Molly McCann on February 6, 2021, at UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Volkov.[10] She won the fight via unanimous decision.[11]

Fritzen faced Casey O'Neill at UFC on ESPN: The Korean Zombie vs. Ige on June 19, 2021.[12] She lost the bout after being choked unconscious by O'Neill in the third round via rear-naked choke.[13]

On July 2, 2021, it was announced that Fritzen was released from the UFC.[14]

Post UFC

[edit]

In her first performance after her UFC release, Procópio faced Alana Sousa on August 13, 2022, at Fight Pro Championship 2. She won the bout via armbar in the first round.[15]
