Bia Mesquita completely dismantled the ‘Russian Ronda’ in her Octagon debut. Now, she wants a crack at the real deal.
After kickstarting her MMA career with five straight finishes on the regional scene, the multi-time IBJJF black belt saw her stock rise significantly at UFC Rio, scoring a dominant second-round submission over Irina Alekseeva.
Following her show-stealing victory, Mesquita had nothing but positive things to say about the former UFC bantamweight champion. And with rumors spreading that the real Ronda Rousey could be on her way back to the fight game, Mesquita couldn’t help but shoot her shot.
