Russian UFC fighter Irina Alexeeva admitted that she suffered from food poisoning and allergies the day before her first UFC performance.
Alekseeva defeated Stephanie Egger by submission on her leg in the first round in her UFC debut in late April. For the Russian woman, this fight was the first since October 2021.
– After the weigh-in, we were given isotonics, I sit down and drink. And then my face turns red. I understand that something is wrong here. I understand that I have an allergy. Also, I was terribly nauseous. As a result, we quickly staged a sterdown, they ran to me for an interview, and I behaved impudently. She asked if there would be a lot of questions, quickly answered, and ran away.
I run to the bathroom and everything comes out of me. I understand that I have poisoning. The UFC nutritionist gave me a special medicine without dye. When I got back, I started to feel sick again. You have to eat to be strong the next day. But I couldn’t. I ended up going to bed and slept for an hour and a half. And then I wanted to eat and realized that it was all over, – Alekseeva told the “Championship”.
