A Dual Threat
Tarin, who is nicknamed “Kill Bill,” has made her name on the regional circuit in Mexico, winning the Budo Sento bantamweight crown in 2024 and also securing a trio of victories under the Combate Global banner. The Mexico City native has finished all but one of her triumphs inside the distance. Tarin also reportedly tried out for World Wrestling Entertainment earlier this year.
Lithuania’s Kareckaite is 1-1 in the Octagon since earning a UFC contract on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2023. Most recently, the 27-year-old known as “Heavy Hands” garnered a split verdict over Nicolle Caliari at UFC Fight Night 249 in January 2025.
