Anicia Brianna Fortino (née Van Buren; born August 4, 1993) is a former mixed martial artist (MMA) fighter from the United States, who used to compete in the strawweight division for UFC.

Background

Fortino grew up in Gilroy, California, with her mother.[7] Due to the domestic sexual molestation that she was a victim of in her teens, she moved out of home at the age of 13.[7] She ended up moving in with her uncle – Strikeforce veteran Anthony Figueroa – at whose gym she started training kickboxing, later picking up other disciplines.[5][8][7] She attended and graduated from Gilroy High School where she played soccer and wrestled her sophomore year.[9][7]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Fortino started her professional MMA career in 2012 and fought primarily in California. She amassed a record of 3–1 prior to being signed by Invicta FC.

Invicta Fighting Championships

Fortino made her Invicta FC debut on February 27, 2015, at Invicta FC 11: Cyborg vs. Tweet against Amy Montenegro.[10] She lost the fight via unanimous decision.[11]

Fortino next faced Jamie Moyle on December 15, 2018, at Invicta FC 33: Frey vs. Grusander II.[12] Moyle missed weight by nine pounds, weighing in at 125.1 lbs and forfeiting 25% of her purse to Van Buren.[13] She won the fight by unanimous decision.[14]

On May 3, 2019, Fortino competed in the first Phoenix Series tournament. A new one-night tournament to determine a new strawweight champion. In the opening round, she faced Manjit Kolekar and won the fight via submission by way of armbar in the first round. She moved on to face Juliana Lima in the semi-finals, winning the fight via unanimous decision. In the finals, Van Buren faced Kailin Curran. She submitted Curran in the second round with a rear naked choke to become the new Invicta FC Strawweight Champion.[15] She would later vacate her title in order to sign with the UFC.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

On her UFC debut, she faced Lívia Renata Souza, replacing injured Cynthia Calvillo, on July 13, 2019, at UFC Fight Night: de Randamie vs. Ladd.[16] She won by unanimous decision.[17]

Fortino faced Tecia Torres on June 20, 2020, at UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Volkov.[18] She lost the fight via unanimous decision.[19]

Fortino was scheduled to face Jessica Penne on July 16, 2022, at UFC on ABC 3.[20] However, Fortino withdrew in early June for unknown reasons and was replaced by Emily Ducote.[21]

On October 8, 2024, it was reported that Fortino was removed from the UFC roster.[22]

Personal life

Fortino's moniker "Tha Bull" or "The Bull" was coined by her grandfather when she was young as she used to running around with such attitude that her grandfather called her "El Torito", "The baby bull" in Spanish.[23]

Brianna and her husband Lukas Fortino got married in October 2020, and she officially began using Fortino as her last name also in the UFC.[8] The pair welcomed their first son Jackson in 2021.[8]
