Irina Alekseeva, dubbed ‘Russian Ronda’ made an impressive UFC debut at UFC Vegas 72. She submitted fellow bantamweight Stephanie Egger in the very first round via a kneebar. With the win, she has successfully kicked off her UFC career and redeemed herself of botching the weight on the scale.

The 32-year-old had a rocky start to her UFC debut as he missed weight by 4 lbs ahead of the fight. However, that did not hold back the former Bellator star from putting on a dominant showing inside the cage. The fight started off competitively as the pair matched on the feet.

Egger initiated a clinch from behind soon after. However, that marked the beginning of her downfall as Alekseeva was able to grab a hold of her leg as they went to the ground. The rest was just a formality as she locked in a kneebar and popped Egger’s knee before she tapped.
