Here's the match video of Irina Alekseeva vs Stephanie Egger from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Bantamweight. Irina is making her UFC debut. She is 32 years old from Russia. Her nickname is Russian Ronda. When asked about this, Irina said when she was young she resembled Ronda Rousey. Irina is a Russian judo champ. Her record is 4-1. She fought for Bellator last year at a catchweight of 130lbs. It's unknown why she left Bellator. Irina missed weight. She says she had an allergic reaction to something the UFC gave her for hydration. Stephanie is 34 years old from Switzerland. She is 3-2 in the UFC. I don't think she belongs in the UFC. And she shows that in this fight by bumbling her way into a first round armbar. We'll see how Irina does against better competition. Enjoy the video!
