Fight Preview
Daria Zheleznyakova is 9-1 overall with five wins by KO/TKO and four by decision. She’s all about striking, landing plenty of powerful shots in every fight.
Zheleznyakova’s Achilles’ heel is wrestling, the evidence being that in her first-ever UFC fight, she got taken down by Montserrat Rendon three times. She also doesn’t like grappling, but she tends to do well against submission attempts.

Luckily for Zheleznyakova, Ailin Perez isn’t famous for winning fights on the ground. However, she’s fantastic when it comes to takedowns. She lands more than five takedowns per fight, after which she looks to keep the opponent pinned to the floor rather than going for a submission.
