Alekseeva is a Russian bantamweight born in Atyrau, Kazakhstan, known as 'Russian Ronda' for a background that includes national and world sambo championships before she moved into MMA in 2018. She has struggled to find her footing in the UFC and is currently on a three-fight losing skid, most recently a second-round rear-naked-choke submission loss to grappling specialist Bia Mesquita in October 2025 after a unanimous-decision defeat to Klaudia Syguła in Baku that June.
