At UFC Fight Night: Yusuff vs Barboza, the highly anticipated bantamweight clash between undefeated British newcomer Melissa Dixon and Irina Alekseeva is set to take place. Dixon, with a perfect 5-0 record, enters the Octagon with a background in breakdancing rather than combat sports. After a sour relationship pushed her away from dancing, she found herself in an MMA gym in 2016, and now she’s ready to showcase her skills on the biggest stage.
Dixon, at 32 years old, acknowledges the physical demands of the sport, including weight cutting, taking a toll on her body. Despite struggling to find fights in previous promotions, Dixon’s determination to compete never wavered. The call from the UFC offering her a spot to compete was the spark she needed to reignite her passion for the sport.
On the other side of the Octagon, Alekseeva, coming off a submission victory over Stephanie Egger, poses a challenge for Dixon. However, Dixon believes she is the more technical fighter and feels confident in her abilities. She describes the matchup as the perfect UFC fight, with the potential for an exciting and explosive showdown.
