Gina “Danger” Mazany (6-4 MMA, 1-4 UFC)

Flyweight (125lbs): 0-0 (UFC)

Bantamweight (135lbs): 1-4 (UFC), Missed weight 1 time, The Ultimate Fighter Season 18 Participant

After losing in her first fight on the Ultimate Fighter Season 18 at 135lbs in 2013, it took Gina another 4 years to get to the UFC. And in 2017, in her first bout in the UFC she missed weight coming in at 139.5lbs.

Mazany competed in the main event within the King of the Cage promotion at 155lbs back on January 25th and easily secured a win. In Mazany’s most recent fight, she returned to 135lbs within the UFC and lost in just 22 seconds to Julia Avila in May.

Mazany is now 32 years old and stands at 5’6″ with a 68.5″ reach. Gina is going to make her UFC debut in the flyweight division and at this point, her back is against the wall in what essentially is a must-win situation given her current record with the MMA promotional giant. She fights Rachael Ostovich at UFC Vegas 15. Ahead of the fight, she joined James Krause at Glory MMA and Fitness.
