Mariya Agapova is a very young, scrappy grappler that has endless amounts of potential. Mariya has a couple of nice finishes outside of the UFC against high level opponents that have aged very nicely.
Agapova’s July of 2018 first round KO/TKO of Na Liang, who at the time was 9-2, was impressive. Liang was the #5 rated flyweight in the world in just July of 2017 and now holds a 15-5 pro record as well as being in the UFC.
Agapova’s ground & pound finish of 10-3 fighter, Marilia Santos also was a very telling fight. It took place in October of 2019 and was Agapova’s last fight before the UFC. Marilia has not fought since but had previously competed on the Contender Series and had only been finished by Weili Zhang and Mayra Bueno Silva.
