After her victorious MMA debut last December at Rizin in Japan, 10x world BJJ champion Gabi Garcia had her second pro MMA fight Rizin FF, and she faced Russian Sambo champion Anna Malyukova, in a heavy weight bout (93kg). It was be the co-main event of the second card held by the company, which was led by Wanderlei Silva in an unexpected grappling match with Kazushi Sakuraba.
Malyukova has a solid Sambo background and local Russian media described as following Fedor’s footsteps. Her weight is listed to be around 100kgs.
Both fighters had only one MMA fight on their record. Gabi debuted at Rizin, where she knocked out Lei’d Tapa in the first round after suffering a knockdown early in the fight and recovered. Malyukova also had only one MMA fight which she won.
