Back in the win-column at her new flyweight home, Alaska native, Gina ‘Danger’ Mazany picks up her third Octagon victory, via a third-round front-kick to the body finish over Rachael Ostovich.

In an competitive back-and-forth on the feet, Mazany displayed her grappling chaps over the course of the three-round preliminary meeting, taking Ostovich’s back on cue in the opening and second-frame. Briefly threatening with a rare north-south choke midway through the second-round, Mazany was impressively swept by Ostovich on the bottom, who displaying eye-catching flexibility to take the 32-year-old’s back momentarily.

With Ostovich visibly wilting midway through the final round, Mazany dropped The Ultimate Fighter feature with a beautifully timed front-kick to the body, before almost forcing the issue with strikes. After some seperation, Mazany again found the target with another body front-kick, dropping the Hawaiian once more, with referee, Mark Smith stopping the bout with less than a minute remaining in the clash.

Below, check out the highlights from Mazany’s stoppage win over Ostovich.

We have another bout added to UFC Fight Night 184 on November 28, as Rachael Ostovich returns to the cage for the first time in nearly two years to take on Gina Mazany.

Mazany has gone 1-2 in the time since Ostovich last fought, winning one fight in the KOTC promotion via TKO, and being TKO’d twice in the UFC. This will be her first fight in the flyweight division however, she’s spent nine of her ten fights competing at bantamweight.

The Alaskan native Mazany even fought at lightweight in her KOTC bout earlier this year in January, the lone fight she’s had outside of the 135 lb weight class. Ostovich has always been a flyweight, the weight cut should be easier for her considering.

Ostovich has a record of 4-5 (1-2 UFC), and comes into this fight not only having not competed in two years, but is on a two-fight losing streak. Mazany has a record of 6-4 (1-4 UFC), and is coming off one defeat.

Both of these women need a win badly, neither of them can afford another defeat. With Mazany being the bigger party, standing 5’6” with a 68” reach, Ostovich is only 5’3” with a 62” reach, let’s hope she makes the required 126 lb limit.

That’s not to assume she won’t, but she’s never had to before. Headlining the card will be a heavyweight bout between the No. 4 ranked Derrick Lewis and the No. 2 ranked Curtis Blaydes.

This booking makes it five fights total so far for this event, with the others being Norma Dumont Viana versus Ashlee Evans-Smith at 135 lbs, Parker Porter versus Josh Parisian at heavyweight, and Anderson dos Santos versus Martin Day at 135 lbs.

The entire card will be hosted on ESPN+ at a location to be determined.

Ostovich Suspended For Eight Months

Rachael Ostovich has been suspended by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).

The UFC women’s flyweight failed a drug test for ostarine and GW1516 following an out-of-competition drug test administered earlier this year on January 3.

Ostovich identified a supplement that contained the banned substances, even though they were not listed on the supplement label. However, she was still hit with a suspension.

She was initially issued a one-year suspension, but saw four months reduced due to a provisional suspension faced last year due to an atypical finding that was being investigated by USADA. That investigation didn’t lead to any further sanctions so Ostovich was offered a four-month reduction.

“Although ostarine and GW1516 were not listed on the supplement label, the analysis revealed that the product contained ostarine and GW1516, the substances for which Ostovich tested positive,” USADA wrote in a statement. “The product label listed another prohibited substance, but Ostovich did not realize at the time that it was prohibited. Consistent with other cases with similar circumstances, USADA determined that a small reduction from the default two-year period of ineligibility was justified.

“Ostovich received an additional reduction to the otherwise applicable period of ineligibility for her Full and Complete Cooperation. Under the revised UFC (Anti-Doping Program) announced on November 25, 2019, a Full and Complete Cooperation reduction may be granted in the event that an athlete demonstrates that they did not intend to enhance their performance and provided full, prompt, and truthful responses and information to all reasonable inquiries and requests for information.”

Ostovich’s suspension is retroactive to January 3 and she will be able to compete once the eight months are up. She hasn’t competed since January last year when she suffered a submission defeat to Paige VanZant.
