The Triumphant Night of Germany's MMA Stars in the Czech Capital
Dominating Prague's MMA scene, Germany's MMA princess exerts firm control with her authoritative reign.
Let the games begin! The colossal stages of a Prague football club are all set for an exhilarating show, as the limelight shifts towards Germany's very own MMA sensation, Alina Dalaslan, nicknamed the "MMA Princess with the Iron Fist."
The Schengen Arena is buzzing as Dalaslan, a swift, determined fighter hailing from Stuttgart, prepares to take on her formidable opponent, Roza Gumienna from Poland. Boasting an astounding audience of 27,000 spectators, this battle promises to be a spectacle for the ages [1].
Dalaslan, having debuted with a thunderous victory in front of 13,000 spectators in Stuttgart, sets her sights on a grander stage as she faces Gumienna [2]. The first two minutes, however, see Gumienna maintain the upper hand, keeping Dalaslan at bay with relentless kicks.
Entering her rhythm, Dalaslan chips away, landing potent hooks and stinging jabs, striking from close quarters. Her precision elbows, though just narrowly missing their mark, keep Gumienna on her toes [2]. The second round witnesses a surge in Dalaslan’s offensive, knocking Gumienna back and exploiting her weak spots. The Polish contender, unable to withstand the onslaught, wobbles once more, only to find herself on the receiving end of Dalaslan's powerful push kicks and decisive hands [2]. The referee's intervention followed swiftly as Gumienna crumpled to the ground.
Cordero's Breathtaking Submission Victory
On the heels of Dalaslan’s victory, another German warrior, Jaime Cordero, steps into the ring, squaring off against Prague’s David Hozek in a middleweight duel [3]. In the first round, an alarming moment presents itself as Hozek manages to grip Cordero’s leg after a spinning kick, bringing the German down to the mat. Cordero, demonstrating unwavering determination, defends valiantly, flips Hozek over, and rains down punishing elbow strikes [3].
In the second round, Cordero employs his signature strategy, driving Hozek to the canvas and peppering the Czech with relentless elbow strikes. A series of hits to the eye area opens deep cuts on Hozek’s face, prompting the referee to halt the contest after Hozek signals his inability to see [3].
In a bizarre turn of events, Cordero was initially declared the victor via submission following a proposed leg lock by Hozek. Analyzing the footage later, the referee confirmed that Hozek had indeed tapped out [4].
Solaja's Painful Defeat
Danijel Solaja, a 32-year-old fighter from Düsseldorf, kicks off the event with a match against Czech Jan Stanovsky, who failed to make weight [3]. Despite Stanovsky’s ground-focused strategy, Solaja manages to land the more effective strikes in the first round. Francophone fans can access Solaja’s journey in the world of MMA via his RTL Gallicia videos [4].
The second round witnesses Solaja continue his offensive, outclassing Stanovsky as a striker. Stanovsky, undeterred, persists with his submission attempts, but Solaja defends masterfully. Unfortunately, in the third round, Solaja makes a fatal mistake, and Stanovsky takes full advantage, pinning Solaja's arm and forcing him to yield. The Czech emerges victorious, claiming a hard-fought victory [3].
