Bia Mesquita Smashes ‘Russian Ronda’ in Explosive Octagon Debut – UFC Rio Highlights

Bia Mesquita made a giant impression in her Octagon debut, completely pummeling Irina Alekseeva at UFC Rio.

As anticipated, Mesqiuta shot in for a takedown comparatively early and muscled down Alekseeva with little resistance. Touchdown straight in full mount, Mequita spent greater than three minutes dropping hammer fists and hellacious elbows. Regardless of the onslaught, ‘Russian Ronda’ managed to outlive the stanza, although it was only a matter of time earlier than Mesquita would end issues.

It took Mesquite little greater than a minute to get Alekseeva again all the way down to the mat in spherical two. 60 seconds after that, she handed into full mount, forcing Alekseeva to surrender her again nearly instantly.

That allowed the BJJ sensation to cinch her arm below Alekseeva’s chin, locking in a rear-naked choke and forcing the faucet out.

Official End result: Bia Mesquita def. Irina Alekseeva through submission (rear-naked choke) at 2:14 of Spherical 2.
