It will be Melissa Dixon’s debut UFC fight. She has been undefeated in her MMA career so far and is one of the hottest signings of UFC in recent months. She had her last match in Ares FC where she defeated Darya Zheleznyakova.
On the other hand, Irina Alekseeva made her UFC debut earlier this year in April. She impressed everyone by defeating Stephanie Egger via first-round submission in her inaugural match.
Now it remains to be seen whether Melissa Dixon will be able to make the same impact as Alekseeva or will the latter get another impressive win on October 14.
