Julia Berezikova comes from Russia - more specifically, the city of Krasnokamensk. She is 34-years old, and she was born on 17 November 1983. She is 5'6" tall (which is about 167 cm), which is about average for female MMA fighters. She weighs 126 lbs, which is about 57 kg in the metric system. Her current fighting record stands at 9-4-0, meaning she has 9 wins (one of the largest margins in today's list), 4 losses and 0 draws. During her childhood, she injured her back, and doctors said she could never do any sports - however, her MMA stats show the doctors' opinion was not correct.
She was off to a great start, winning most of her fights, until she was knocked out by Rosy Duarte in October 2015. After that fight, Julia has not appeared in another MMA fight. Still, she holds many records, which is why she was ranked as the #7 female fighter in the world (for her weight category). The ranking was done the Unified Women's MMA Rankings organization.
