Taps out to heavy opponent
Zheleznyakova lost to Ailin Perez via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 3:52 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Paris.
ANALYSIS
The lone bit of good news for Zheleznyakova is that she will walk away with 20 percent of Perez's purse after the latter missed weight by half a pound on Friday morning. Darya did manage to land a takedown almost immediately, but once Perez was able to get back to her feet and get her grappling game going, Zheleznyakova was done. She was dragged to the mat by an easy body lock and found herself tapping out moments later. With just 10 professional fights under her belt at age 28, Zheleznyakova, who is now 1-1 in the UFC, is nothing more than roster depth for the company.

Takes decision in UFC debut
Zheleznyakova defeated Montserrat Rendon via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Making her UFC debut, we saw the good and bad of Zheleznyakova's game. She's a quality striker that manages distance well. She closed with a 73-28 edge in total strikes landed over Rendon but also allowed her opponent to land 3-of-6 takedowns attempts. Any opponent that faces Zheleznyakova is going to study this tape and try to get her to the mat and pin her there. It will be up to the 28-year-old Russian to adapt and improve in that area.
