England

Falls as biggest favorite on card
BantamweightUFC
April 6, 2024
Mullins lost to Nora Cornolle via TKO (strikes) at 3:06 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Getting knocked out as the biggest favorite on the card (-390) after missing weight a day prior is a very bad look for Mullins. The lone saving grace is that Cornolle missed weight, as well. On the heels of a competitive Round 1, Mullins ate a knee to the gut before being finished off with some follow-up strikes. The 32-year-old Brit won her UFC debut over Irina Alekseeva last October, so her roster spot isn't in jeopardy, but Mullins needs to get the weight cutting issues under control. Two pounds is a substantial miss.

Takes grinding affair in UFC debut
BantamweightUFC
October 14, 2023
Dixon defeated Irina Alekseeva via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Signed to a four-fight contract by the UFC this past June, Dixon displayed plenty of heart in her company debut. She looked excellent in Round 1 before being dropped by a massive shot from Alekseeva. She managed to survive the frame and thrived the rest of the way, due both to her own determination and the poor gas tank of her opponent. Already 32 years of age and with just a half-dozen (6-0) pro fights under her belt, Dixon is going to have to make plenty of adjustments in a short period of time if she is to have continued success in the 135-pound female division. This was a good start.

Dixon signed a four-fight deal with the UFC on June 8, Mike Heck of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dixon had mixed results on the amateur circuits, but so far has compiled an impressive 5-0 professional record through Golden Ticket Promotions, and more recently, Ares FC. Her last trip to the cage was a first-round knockout over Darya Zheleznyakova in November, and three of her five victories have came by way of KO/TKO. The 31-year-old doesn't yet have a date for her official UFC debut.
