Irina Alekseeva and Melissa Dixon are set to face off in an anticipated bout scheduled for an upcoming UFC event on October 14. Reliable sources have confirmed this exciting matchup, although the exact location and venue are yet to be determined.
Irina Alekseeva, also known as “Russian Ronda,” will be making her second appearance in the octagon. Her debut in UFC Vegas 72 showcased her skills as she swiftly defeated Stephanie Egger with a kneebar in a little over two minutes. Prior to joining the UFC, the 33-year-old fighter secured a unanimous decision victory over Stephanie Page at Bellator 269 in October 2021.
On the other hand, Melissa Dixon, a 31-year-old rising star, will make her UFC debut after being signed directly by the promotion in June. Dixon boasts an impressive undefeated record of 5-0, having competed for Golden Ticket Promotions where she achieved a 3-0 record. She then moved on to Ares FC, where she emerged victorious in both of her appearances. In her most recent fight at Ares FC 9 last November, Dixon displayed her skills by securing a first-round TKO against Darya Zheleznyakova. Currently, she sits just outside the top-15 of the MMA Hook Global Rankings.
