Background

In her youth, Macfarlane played basketball, but her aspirations in the sport came to a stop due to series of knee injuries. Macfarlane graduated from Punahou School in 2009 in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Afterwards, she continued her education at SDSU to study Master of Arts in Liberal Studies.{{cite web |url=https://www.facebook.com/ilimabuckwild |title=Ilima-Lei Macfarlane |website=Facebook |publisher=}}

During the summer before grad program, she decided to lose some weight she gained in the college and joined a CrossFit gym and Liz Carmouche's MMA gym. She grew affinity for mixed martial arts and continued training at the San Diego Combat Academy.

Mixed martial arts career

=Xplode Fight Series=

Macfarlane began her amateur MMA career in 2014. She fought five times during that year, mainly with Xplode Fight Series, and went undefeated as an amateur.

Macfarlane's first professional fight was an unsanctioned match against Katie Castro for Xplode Fight Series in 2015. Macfarlane won via technical knockout ten seconds into the bout. In the aftermath of the lopsided affair, the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) launched an investigation into the organization's unsanctioned MMA events. Castro had a 0–2 record before fighting Macfarlane and footage of the match was posted on the internet and labeled "Soccer mom loses to MMA fighter". The video went viral, garnering over a million views on YouTube and was discussed on a few television news networks.{{Cite news |url=https://www.mmafighting.com/2015/8/28/9091777/viral-ko-video-spurs-state-investigation-into-unsanctioned-mma-events |title=Video spurs probe into Xplode's unsanctioned MMA events |work=MMA Fighting |access-date=2017-07-08}}
