Suspended for anti-doping rule violation Irina Alekseeva is more likely to fight in the UFC in 2024, Russian manager Alexander Skaredin told .
Exogenous testosterone was found in the Russian woman’s samples. The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) reported the test results to the athlete and the UFC only on October 31, 2023, and Alekseeva managed to perform at a promotional tournament in Las Vegas. On October 14, she fought in Las Vegas and was defeated by American Melissa Mullins. Alekseeva’s one-year disqualification period begins on October 15, 2023.
“We are waiting for the end of her suspension and we will immediately start organizing the fight.” Irina is now in Yekaterinburg and has started her training. We will plow hard. We plan and want to perform before the end of the year. The probability that the fight will take place in 2024 is quite high,” Skaradin told .
Alekseeva, 34, is a world champion in sambo, has been competing in mixed martial arts since 2019 and made her UFC debut in 2023.
