Command Analysis

Melissa Dixon

Current form

Melissa Mullins is like a British tank that has already left its mark on this map. She defeated Claudia Sigula and Irina Alekseeva, but in the third UFC fight she stumbled — Nora Cornoll knocked her out with a high kick. Mullins is big for the lightest weight, but she didn't make weight twice, which hints at discipline issues. The 33-year-old Briton's record is seven wins (five knockouts, two decisions) and one defeat. Melissa is all about power and drive, but will she be able to repeat her success against Zheleznyakova?

Darya Zheleznyakova

Current form

Daria Zheleznyakova is like a Russian storm that has not yet accelerated into a hurricane. In the last fight against Eileen Perez, she looked out of place: transfer to the stalls, suffocating, and the opponent's dancing over her was not the best evening. But her UFC debut was bright — a decision victory over Montserrat Rendon. The 29-year-old from St. Petersburg has nine wins (five knockouts, four decisions) and two defeats. The Russian kickboxing and pankration world champion, she broke into MMA in 2019. This is her third fight in the UFC, and Daria is eager to prove that she is ready for the elite.

Interesting betting trends

The accuracy of Zheleznyakova's punches is 38 percent.

TipEarly victory for Mullins

2.84

Bookmakers see Mullins as a clear favorite, and there's something to think about. This fight is like deja vu. In 2022, Melissa had already defeated Daria with a technical knockout in the first round, and it seems that the UFC matchmakers simply forgot about it. Why should we bother our heads if the story has already been written? Mullins is about physical strength, pressure, and the ability to break opponents. Zheleznyakova, with her kickboxing, may try to keep her distance, but the British woman is stronger, more aggressive and will crush the Russian again. There is no reason to wait for another outcome — Melissa will push through and finish quickly.
