It was a picture-perfect 2025 for the MMA Barbie. Lethbridge mixed marital artist Shannon Clark won both her MMA bouts in 2025 to improve her professional record to 7-1-0.

In her most recent fight Nov. 7, the 33-year-old traveled to Ginásio Nilson Nelson in Brasilia, Brazil where she faced local talent Beatriz Consuli in LFA 221 for the women’s flyweight title. With the fight serving as the main event on the card, Clark won by unanimous decision in five rounds to improve her record to 7-1-0. It was also Consuli’s first loss, dropping her to 6-1.

Clark’s first MMA bout of 2025 took her to Prior Lake, Minnesota for LFA 200 Jan. 25 where she took on Cheyanne Bowers for the LFA Flyweight Championship for 125lbs. In a bout that went five rounds, Clark earned the win via a split decision. Of Clark’s seven wins since turning professional in 2022, three have been KO/TKO, two by unanimous decision, one by split decision and one by submission. Her sole loss was by TKO. Clark has won the LFA flyweight belt three times leading her to move onto higher levels. In February 2026, Clark signed with PFL (Professional Fighting League) which is one of the highest ranked professional organizations in the world.

Clark began her amateur fighting career on Oct. 19, 2019 at Rumble In The Cage 62 which took place at the Servus Sports Centre in Lethbridge. After going undefeated in three fights as an amateur, Clark became a pro fighter on Oct. 1, 2022. In her time as a professional, she has won four fights on the Legacy Fighting Alliance circuit.
