Mixed martial arts career

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Phillips made her UFC debut against Valérie Létourneau at UFC 174 on June 14, 2014. She lost the fight via split decision.[3]

Phillips next faced Milana Dudieva at UFC Fight Night: Bisping vs. Le on August 23, 2014. She lost the fight via controversial split decision.[4]

In her third fight with the promotion, Phillips faced Jessamyn Duke at UFC on Fox: Dillashaw vs. Barão 2 on July 25, 2015. She won the bout by unanimous decision.

During her fight with Duke, Phillips suffered two wardrobe malfunctions. Her left nipple was accidentally exposed in the first round, and her right nipple in the third round. Both incidents occurred while she was on her back. The footage of her bare nipples was later edited from the recordings, but many screenshots and videos were recorded by fans.

Phillips faced Raquel Pennington at UFC 202 on August 20, 2016. She lost the fight by unanimous decision and was subsequently released from the promotion.

In her first appearance after her UFC release, Philips faced Leah Letson on January 14, 2017, at Invicta FC 21, losing the bout after getting knocked out with a head kick in the first round.[5]

After picking up a unanimous decision victory on the regional scene, Philips fought fellow UFC vet Kelly Faszholz at Invicta FC 23: Porto vs. Niedźwiedź on May 20, 2017. Phillips missed weight by 5 pounds and the fight was held at 140 lbs, with 20% of Phillips' purse going to Kelly.[6] She won the fight via unanimous decision.

Philips faced Jessy Miele at CES 56 on May 31, 2019. She lost the bout via split decision.[7]

Philips returned two years later on June 12, 2021, losing to Serena DeJesus via unanimous decision at Fusion Fight League.[8]
