PFL Grand Prix Finalist Marina Mokhnatkina and UFC heavyweight Sergey Spivak will be Irina Alekseeva’s second in her second UFC fight. Alexander Skaredin, head of the Rat team, which represents the interests of the Russian fighter, reported this to .
Alekseeva will meet Briton Melissa Dixon (5-0) on October 14 at the UFC Fight Night tournament in Las Vegas. In late April, the Russian defeated Switzerland’s Stephanie Egger via a painful leg hold in the first round in her first UFC fight, but Alekseeva failed the weigh-in before that fight. For the Russian, this fight was the first since October 2021. Alekseeva’s MMA statistics are 5 wins and 1 loss.
– Irina is ready. About two days ago, she weighed only 6.5 kg. Irina approached this fight perfectly from a weight loss point of view. She did a good job, organized a camp in Yekaterinburg, where Tatyana Postarnakova came. Tatiana is a very versatile fighter. I’m sure she will make herself known loud and clear in the future. Additionally, Irina and Tatiana are very good friends. Irina leaves for the USA loaded and well prepared. We don’t care about weight. We wish him victory! And Irina’s seconds will be Sergei Spivak and Marina Mokhnatkina,” Skaredin told .
Another representative of the “Rat” team, Daria Zheleznyakova, was scheduled to perform at the tournament on October 14. But his first UFC fight was postponed indefinitely due to issues with a US visa.
– Daria will fight when she can get a visa. Dasha doesn’t have any refusals or anything. We have just encountered bureaucratic nuances. She is waiting to receive a document without which she cannot go to an interview in a country where there is an appointment. In general, we wait, ”Skaredin noted.
