Daria Zheleznyakova, a fighting beauty from the UFC league

Daria Zheleznyakova is a Russian mixed martial artist. In the octagon, she works aggressively and very professionally, defeating one rival after another. Her spectacular fights first fell in love with domestic MMA connoisseurs, and then attracted the attention of Americans. The girl signed a contract with the UFC and successfully stands for this organization. She is often called "Khabib in a skirt", in honor of the champion from Dagestan, Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Daria Zheleznyakova was born on January 23 , 1996 in St. Petersburg. In elementary school, she differed little from her peers and was not at all a sporty child. But at the age of 15, Daria signed up for the boxing section. The only girl among the boys, Zheleznyakova was inferior to sparring partners in the force of the blow, but she was very technical.

Later, Daria switched to kickboxing and successfully performed at city competitions. In 2018, as a student of the Olympic Reserve sports school, she took third place at the European Championships. It was after this victory that Daria decided to try herself in mixed martial arts. In Russia, this sport among women developed as pop MMA. Stars and famous bloggers participated in the battles.

Zheleznyakova had her first fight with Oksana Pavlovskaya and confidently won by technical knockout. Daria's finest hour was a duel with Andreina Reis. The fight, which journalists called a "bloody felling", attracted the attention of the managers of the French promotion Ares to the Russian woman. From that moment on, he was the one who organized her fights.

Among the numerous victories, Daria also had defeats. For the first time in her professional career, she lost a fight in 2022. By this point, she had seven wins and not a single loss. Melissa Malins got the upper hand over Zheleznyakova by technical knockout.

Daria says she prefers sparring with men. According to her, it is very difficult to find a training partner with a good level of training in Russia.

As for her personal life, according to the athlete, there is simply no time for it. During the preparation for the fights, Daria observes a strict regime. She does not go to cafes and movies, and goes to bed no later than 10 pm. At the same time, the girl does not hide that she loves sweets and sometimes can afford a piece of cake.

At the beginning of the summer of 2023, Zheleznyakova signed a contract with the UFC. Now the girl performs in the USA in the lightest weight. She is seriously preparing for every fight and is confident that she will be able to prove herself and become a popular fighter in the USA.

There are a lot of beautiful girls in the UFC, for example, Paige Vanzant, who loves photo shoots in open swimwear.
