Here's the fight video of Melissa Dixon vs Irina Alekseeva from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Bantamweight. Melissa is 32 years old from Coventry, England. Her husband James Dixon is er coach. She has a 5-0 record. Irina is 33 years old from Russia. She is known as The Russian Ronda. She won her UFC debut with a first round kneebar. Round one was close. Irina knocked Melissa down. But I thought Melissa landed harder punches early in the round. I scored the round 10-9 for Melissa. Two of the judges scored it 10-9 for Irina. But Melissa dominated the other two rounds mostly on the ground. Both rounds were borderline 10-8 but I scored both rounds 10-9 for Melissa. So I scored the fight 30-27 for Melissa. One judge scored it the same and the other two scored it 29-28 for Melissa. She wins by unanimous decision. I think we will see her again when the UFC returns to London. Enjoy the video!
