Darya Zheleznyakova

Russia

Takes decision in UFC debut
BantamweightUFC
March 23, 2024
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.
