Elle commence le judo \u00e0 14 ans, d\u00e9croche sa ceinture noire, puis bascule vers le sambo \u2014 discipline dans laquelle elle va accumuler les titres : trois fois championne du monde, deux fois championne d&rsquo;Europe. R\u00e9sultat ? Elle arrive en MMA avec un bagage de grappling qu&rsquo;on ne construit pas en quelques mois de salle, et un surnom qui lui colle \u00e0 la peau depuis ses d\u00e9buts : \u00ab\u00a0Russian Ronda\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>Elle s&rsquo;\u00e9tablit \u00e0 Chelyabinsk, en Russie, et s&rsquo;entra\u00eene avec la team Ratiborets. Ses premiers combats pros datent de 2019 \u2014 victoire par armbar au premier round contre Zlata Sheftor en mai, puis en RCC MMA. Elle accumule quatre victoires avant de signer \u00e0 Bellator, o\u00f9 elle bat Stephanie Page par d\u00e9cision le 23 octobre 2021.<\/p>\n<h3>L&rsquo;UFC et un d\u00e9but fracassant<\/h3>\n<p>Le 29 avril 2023, \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC Fight Night 223, Alekseeva fait ses d\u00e9buts dans l&rsquo;octogone face \u00e0 la Suissesse Stephanie Egger. Le combat dure 2 minutes et 11 secondes : kneebar, soumission au premier round. Entr\u00e9e remarqu\u00e9e. C\u00f4t\u00e9 n\u00e9gatif : elle rate la limite de poids de quatre livres ce soir-l\u00e0.<\/p>\n<p>Ensuite, les choses se compliquent. Elle perd par d\u00e9cision unanime contre Melissa Mullins le 14 octobre 2023 \u2014 et apprend quelques semaines plus tard qu&rsquo;un test antidopage du 21 juin 2023 avait r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 un taux de testost\u00e9rone anormal. USADA n&rsquo;avait transmis le r\u00e9sultat ni \u00e0 elle ni \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC qu&rsquo;en octobre 2023, apr\u00e8s qu&rsquo;elle eut d\u00e9j\u00e0 combattu. CSAD lui inflige une suspension de 12 mois, r\u00e9duite en tenant compte de ce dysfonctionnement et de sa coop\u00e9ration. Suspension r\u00e9troactive au 15 octobre 2023, lev\u00e9e le 15 octobre 2024.<\/p>\n<h3>Le retour et la s\u00e9rie difficile<\/h3>\n<p>Revenue \u00e0 la comp\u00e9tition en 2025, elle encaisse deux d\u00e9faites cons\u00e9cutives : une d\u00e9cision face \u00e0 Klaudia Sygula le 21 juin 2025, puis une soumission (rear naked choke, round 2, 2:14) contre Bia Mesquita le 11 octobre 2025 \u00e0 Rio de Janeiro. Son bilan UFC s&rsquo;\u00e9tablit \u00e0 1 victoire pour 3 d\u00e9faites, pour un record pro global de 5-4.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c0 35 ans, Alekseeva reste une athl\u00e8te au profil atypique dans le bantamweight f\u00e9minin : une envergure de 168 cm, un jeu de jambes incluant switch kicks et genoux saut\u00e9s, et un grappling de base \u00e9lite. Mais la marge entre l&rsquo;excellence en sport de combat traditionnel et le top level UFC ne cesse de se rappeler \u00e0 elle.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/verdictmma.com\/fighter\/irina-russian-ronda-alekseeva\">VerdictMMA<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/irina-alekseeva\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cagesidepress.com\/2023\/04\/29\/welcome-to-the-ufc-irina-alekseeva\/\">CageSidePress<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Irina \u00ab\u00a0Russian Ronda\u00a0\u00bb Alekseeva, triple championne du monde de sambo reconvertie en MMA, \u00e9volue chez l&rsquo;UFC en bantamweight.
