Alice Pereira vs Daria Zhelezniakova

💣 The women’s flyweight division is set for a compelling showdown between two fighters desperate to bounce back from disappointing UFC debuts. Both Alice Pereira and Darya Zheleznyakova stumbled in their first Octagon appearances, so expect motivation to be sky-high on both sides.

Pereira stands out for her raw physicality, athleticism, and relentless aggression. She thrives in the clinch, controls opponents against the cage with authority, and consistently lands significant strikes. Zheleznyakova brings a solid wrestling background, but her attempts to take the fight to the ground looked tentative last time out, and she struggled to establish dominant control. If Darya can’t immediately impose her grappling, she’ll likely face major problems on the feet. The Brazilian’s superior striking power and higher output should allow her to dictate the pace. Expect Pereira to neutralise the Russian’s wrestling attempts and, through constant pressure, secure a crucial win either by decision or technical knockout. Our pick: Pereira to win.
