Mixed martial arts career
Viana made her UFC debut at UFC Fight Night: Machida vs. Anders on 3 February 2018 against Maia Stevenson. She won the fight via rear-naked choke in the first round.
In May 2018 it was announced that Viana would be fighting against JJ Aldrich on UFC 227 in August. Viana would lose the fight via unanimous decision as Aldrich out-boxed her most of the fight.
She next took on Hannah Cifers at UFC 235, a fight she went on to lose by split decision.
Viana took on Veronica Macedo at UFC Fight Night: Shevchenko vs. Carmouche 2. The bout had originally been scheduled between Macedo and Rachael Ostovich, however on July 29 it was announced that Ostovich would be replaced by Viana for an undisclosed reason. As expected, the fight took place on the ground, but surprisingly Macedo submitted Viana via armbar, a submission Viana herself has finished 6 fights with in her career, as of May 2022. The result was Macedo's first UFC win and the first time in Viana's career she had ever been submitted in a fight.
Viana was scheduled to face Emily Whitmire on March 8, 2020, at UFC 248. At the weigh-ins, Whitmire weighed in at 117.5 pounds, 1.5 pounds over the strawweight non-title fight limit of 116. She was fined 20% of her purse and her bout with Viana was expected to proceed as scheduled at a catchweight. Subsequently, Whitmire was hospitalized the day of the event and the fight was cancelled. The pair was rescheduled on August 29, 2020, at UFC Fight Night 175 in a flyweight bout. Viana won the fight via an armbar submission in round one.
