Regina Tarin Joins UFC on Short Notice for Mexico City Debut
A new star is stepping into the UFC spotlight faster than anyone expected. Regina “Kill Bill” Tarin, a 21-year-old undefeated flyweight from Mexico, is making her promotional debut this Saturday at UFC Fight Night 268 in Mexico City. She’s taking a short-notice slot after Sofia Montenegro had to withdraw due to injury and she’ll face Lithuania’s Ernesta Kareckaite at a contracted weight of 130 pounds.
Tarin’s rise has been swift and remarkable. She’s already built a 7-0 professional record, with six finishes — four knockouts and two submissions. Most of her early career success came through regional Latin American promotions, including Budo Sento Championship and Combate Global. She even had a one-off appearance in Tough N Xtreme and WWE recently took notice, giving her a tryout in January. Her skill set, especially her finishing ability, has made her a standout prospect and caught the eye of UFC officials.

What makes this debut particularly notable is the speed and context. Tarin publicly reached out to UFC President Dana White last November, expressing her desire for a shot and now that call has been answered. Facing Kareckaite won’t be easy — the Lithuanian fighter is looking to continue her momentum after a strong win earlier this year, bouncing back from a debut loss. Both athletes bring high stakes and high intensity to this matchup and fans can expect fireworks in the cage.
This fight also underscores a growing trend in MMA: young, versatile fighters moving quickly from regional circuits to the world stage. Tarin’s signing highlights the UFC’s continued investment in Latin American talent and it gives Mexico City fans a hometown fighter to rally behind. It also raises the profile of women’s flyweight competition, offering fresh matchups and opportunities for rising stars to make a statement.
The updated UFC Fight Night 268 card is stacked, featuring Brandon Moreno, Lone’er Kavanagh and several other high-profile bouts. But all eyes will be on Tarin’s debut, as she carries the hopes of her growing fanbase and a chance to cement herself as one of the sport’s next breakout stars.
This is a moment that could define a career and fans around the world will want to see how “Kill Bill” handles the pressure, the crowd and the UFC spotlight. Stay tuned, follow the action and keep watching for every development from UFC Fight Night 268 — this is where future champions begin their rise.
