Real, and documented at the level professional combat sports produces: an official promotion roster page, broadcast fights, and named-byline sports press. Alice Ardelean, born in Satu Mare, Romania, turned professional in 2012 and is listed by UFC.com as the promotion's only female fighter from Romania, with an official record of 12-7-0 (4 knockouts, 5 submissions) in the women's strawweight division. Her career predates her UFC run by nearly a decade: in November 2014 she lost by second-round armbar to fellow Romanian Diana Belbita at RXF 14: Coming to America in Sibiu, and in May 2016 she lost by second-round rear-naked choke to Zhang Weili — now the UFC's own women's strawweight champion — at Top FC 11. She signed with the UFC and made her Octagon debut at UFC 304 in Manchester (July 27, 2024) on short notice, losing a three-round split decision (30-27, 29-28, 28-29) to Shauna Bannon. She has since picked up Octagon wins, and on May 16, 2026 she defeated Brazilian veteran Polyana Viana with the first "capsule lock" finish in UFC history — a rare compression submission she said she'd seen demonstrated on Instagram and drilled in the gym before landing it in competition — earning a $100,000 Performance of the Night bonus. Alongside her fighting career, Ardelean has run a paid subscription content page since at least 2020, when her own X account (@ardeleanalice — the handle the UFC's own official news account has repeatedly tagged in its fight-result posts) publicly promoted it in her own words. She has discussed the business in named press since: telling one outlet in December 2022, "Before OnlyFans, I couldn't afford to train properly, but now, I do four to six sessions every day," and adding, "If only dignity would pay bills, rent, electricity, water, gas, food, training, and equipment." In January 2023, LowKick MMA reported she had left her previous gym after training partners' wives complained about the page and moved to Ronin MMA in Birmingham — she said at the time, "I used to train at a gym when I started OnlyFans and I kept getting dirty looks," that she received messages from wives calling her names, and that "I was forced to move gyms to avoid all this drama. In reality the only reason why I was doing OnlyFans was to be able to pay for my training." Her current training camp, per ESPN's fighter database, is Fusion X-Cel, which also matches the affiliation listed in her own Instagram bio (@aliceardelean), which self-describes her TikTok following as "3M+" and additionally lists management by First Round Management. Her TikTok account (@ardeleanalicemma) is independently confirmed live via TikTok's own creator-profile data. A field of unrelated spam and impersonator accounts — including at least one account explicitly branding itself around "leaks" of her name, plus recycled aggregator-template pages, some hosted on hijacked university subdomains — target her name online; none of it traces to her verified accounts and none of it is linked or described further here. No official AI-persona statement, platform AI label, or operator claim of a virtual model was found anywhere in this research; her UFC-official, video-broadcast fight record is consistent with nothing other than a real, documented professional athlete. This page is unclaimed and compiled from public sources.

Quick answers
What is Alice Ardelean's real name?
VerifiedHer publishes a legal name only when the creator has shared it herself — never one dug up through doxxing or records. We haven't verified a self-disclosed legal name for Alice Ardelean, so this page doesn't list one.
Scam & impersonation warnings
- Impersonator and spam accounts recycle her name online — including at least one account explicitly branding itself around "leaks" of her name — and aggregator pages, some hosted on hijacked university subdomains reusing a generic OnlyFans-article template, also target her name; none of it traces to her verified accounts and none of it is linked or described further here.
- No official AI-persona statement, platform AI label, or operator claim of a virtual model was found anywhere in this research; her UFC-official, video-broadcast fight record supports a real, documented human athlete, not a virtual one.
