Sonya Soars in Prague: Cordero's Epic Comeback, Dalaslan's Dominant Victory
Dominant German MMA champion maintains control in Prague combat events
Germany struck gold in the heart of Prague at a bustling football stadium. This stadium became the battleground for "Iron Fist," the German MMA sensation hailing from Swabia, also known as the "MMA Princess."
The Czech Republic played host to an unforgettable evening, with 27,000 spectators bearing witness to the triumphs of two Germans - Alina Dalaslan from Stuttgart and Jaime Cordero from Bremen.
Alina Dalaslan: The "MMA Princess with the Iron Fist" was set to conquer the world, but her first opponent, Roza Gumienna, posed a formidable challenge. The Pole took the princess by surprise in the opening minutes, keeping her at bay with a flurry of kicks. But the princess soon regained her rhythm, showering Gumienna with potent kicks that were blocked yet felt the sting. This allowed Dalaslan to close the distance and unleash brutal hooks and precise jabs. Many of the rising star's elbow strikes narrowly missed Gumienna's head.
The second round saw Dalaslan intensify her aggression, driving Gumienna back and exploiting gaps in her defenses. The underdog wobbled, but the Dalaslan onslaught continued into the third round. With push kicks, Dalaslan knocked Gumienna down, and when she rose, powerful hands from the German followed, causing Gumienna to crumble - and the referee swiftly intervened. Dalaslan triumphantly fulfilled the high expectations placed upon her, solidifying her position in her weight class in Oktagon.
Caged Combat: Cordero's Thrilling Victory
Next up was Jaime Cordero, the middleweight fighter who faced Prague's David Hozek. The first round started with a tense moment when the Czech grabbed Cordero's leg during a kick and brought him down. But the German defended his position brilliantly, flipping his opponent and raining down hard elbow strikes. Cordero then surprisingly opted for a leg lock, Hozek tapped out, but the referee missed the tap and allowed the match to continue.
In the second round, Cordero continued with his signature moves, overwhelming Hozek with a takedown and more elbow strikes. These strikes left deep cuts around Hozek's eyes, causing the referee to pause the fight. After Hozek signaled he could no longer see, Cordero was declared the winner by technical knockout.
Solaja's Blindside: A Close Call
The evening began with Danijel Solaja from Düsseldorf's UFD Gym, who faced the Czech Jan Stanovsky. Stanovsky had missed weight, announcing his intention to take the fight to the ground. This initially proved fruitless, as Solaja landed more effective strikes and the Czech persistently sought a takedown. Towards the end of the round, Stanovsky finally managed to take Solaja down, but by then, the damage was done.
In the second round, Stanovsky focused on his ground skills, while Solaja proved to be the superior striker. The submission attempts that Stanovsky was aiming to apply, the man from Düsseldorf defended adeptly, until he made a mistake in the third round. At that point, Solaja was already ahead on the scorecards. Both fighters returned to ground fighting, but Stanovsky failed once again with his choke attempts. However, while struggling to escape, he managed to grab his opponent's arm. Solaja tapped out, and the Czech emerged victorious.
