Darya Zheleznyakova vs Montserrat Rendon Prediction: It's going to be a good debut

On the night of 24 March, the UFC Vegas 89 tournament will take place in the United States. In one of the preliminary fights, Russia's Darya Zheleznyakova will face Mexico's Montserrat Rendon.

Daria Zheleznyakova from St. Petersburg has been interested in martial arts since childhood and has trained in different sections to fight with boys at school. She was good at it, and in 2019, she made her professional MMA debut. Developing from league to league, Daria got to the UFC.

In her career, there were promotions GIT Sech Pro, MMA Series, Open FC (where she became champion), and French league Ares FC (where she suffered the only defeat in her career, but forced, it seems, to end the career of the well-known Liana Jogia, having beaten her in May last year).

In her last fight, Zheleznyakova won by technical knockout in the first round over Marie Loiseau (5-3 record).

The 35-year-old Mexican Montserrat Rendon has no defeats in her career so far, but it's temporary. Her opponents have been far from the highest level, nor does she have a hard punch or serious wrestling skills. Rendon has won her last two fights by split decision, including her debut fight in the UFC.

Daria's opponent for her debut fight is quite manageable, and most likely, the Russian will bring the full force of her fists against the Mexican from the very first seconds, which the latter is unlikely to be ready for.

Of course, we would like to see Zheleznyakova win early, but we don't believe that will happen. However, the fact that Daria will dominate the whole way and beat her opponent in the stand-up is most likely a fact.
