Losing streak hits three

July 13, 2024
Agapova lost to Luana Santos via submission (rear-naked choke) at 3:27 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Denver.
ANALYSIS
This was a tough draw for Agapova. Fighting for the first time since September 2022 and entering as a +300 underdog, second largest on the entire card, she appeared to have very little chance of winning this fight. She got thrown to the mat by Santos early on. Agapova managed to survive a deep arm-triangle attempt, but found herself tapping out to the rear-naked choke just moments later. The 27-year-old won two of her first three UFC bouts, but she's lost three straight since and is without a victory dating back to October 2021. It's overwhelmingly likely this was her last chance with the promotion.

Taps out in Vegas
FlyweightUFC
September 17, 2022
Agapova lost to Gillian Robertson via technical submission (rear-naked choke) at 2:19 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Agapova's struggles continue. This is a particularly disheartening result considering she fought well in Round 1. Yes, Robertson landed two of her six takedown attempts in the opening frame, good for 3:13 worth of control time, but it was Agapova who finished the round with a ridiculous 82-2 edge in total strikes landed. That is not a misprint. The tide turned in Round 2 when Agapova gave up a takedown and eventually her back. She eventually passed out from a rear-naked choke before submitting. Mariya has time on her side considering she won't turn 26 years of age until next April, but with three stoppage defeats in her past four fights dating back to August 2020, she may not get another opportunity with the UFC.
