Yana Kunitskaya will continue to fight in the UFC under a different name
The league has already changed her initials in their announcements and ratings.
Russian fighter Yana Kunitskaya, like all subsequent fights, will hold her next fight on March 25 at the UFC on ESPN 4 tournament against Holly Holm under a different name.
In the rankings of the strongest league in the world, she is now like Sanchez. This is the name of the person with whom she is engaged - the famous fighter Thiago Santos. In addition, last spring the couple had a daughter, who also bears the name of the pope.
Meanwhile, Kunitskaya-Santos will continue to represent Russia in the league, and changes in her passport data will not affect her love for her homeland. It's just... a family affair.
