Born in the Republic of Moldova, Russian beauty Alexandra Albu has only been inside the UFC Octagon once. Her only appearance under the UFC banner was back in 2015 when she defeated fellow European Izabela Badurek. That April night in Poland, Alexandra submitted her opponent with a choke in the second round. Since then, Albu has been unable to return to competition but has kept on training. Proof to that are her frequent Instagram posts that let us see she remains in great shape.
July 29 is the date set for her return to action. Albu will fight in the main card of UFC 214: Cormier vs Jones 2. Her opponent will be the dangerous Kailin Curran, who has five fights in the UFC but only one victory. Her losses came at the hands of established names in the strawweight division like Felice Herrig and Paige VanZant.
Albu is training hard for her comeback, but in the meantime she still finds time to do some photoshoots here and there. And we all thank her for that.
But it’s not all glamour and fun. She also puts in hard work at the gym and is dead serious about preparing for her upcoming fight. As a karate fighter and a bit of a wrestler, Albu knows the importance of developing strong legs to increase her chances of winning the fight. The following video is a testament to said strength.
