PUBLICITY:

Tapology, a platform specializing in records and information about combat sports, has identified a possible inconsistency in Alexia Thainara 's record . With 15 wins and only one loss in her career, the Brazilian is making great strides towards a UFC strawweight (up to 52,3 kg) title fight. However, two positive results recorded in her record have raised questions that could cast doubt on the legitimacy of part of her trajectory.

It all started when Tapology's official profile on X posted a video of a duel that was allegedly rigged. In the video, regional circuit athlete Myllena Messias faced an opponent listed as Taynara Almeida, a name that, according to the platform, was associated with another person.

In the images, the two fighters exchange blows in a seemingly light manner until one of them easily knocks down her opponent and ends the fight in a few seconds.

Fake name, fake fight. 9-3 Myllena Messias took on someone announced as Taynara Almeida.

The platform also highlighted that one of these fights was against an athlete advertised as Thaynara Almeida, an identity that, according to the investigation published by the profile, is probably false.

“ Alexia Thainara , a standout in the UFC women's strawweight division, has two wins that ended in eight seconds in events that share certain similarities or connections with this one. One of them was against another fighter named 'Thaynara Almeida,' which is almost certainly just a pseudonym,” the profile wrote.

Despite the questions raised, Tapology reported that it does not intend to remove Alexia Thainara 's cartel results , considering that the available evidence is not yet sufficient to justify their exclusion. The platform, however, classified both results as highly suspicious.

“We are not going to remove Alexia Thainara ’s wins from her Tapology record because the evidence is insufficient. But these results are quite suspicious,” he concluded.

Top UFC women's strawweight Alexia Thainara has 2 wins that ended in 8 seconds on events that have certain similarities or connections to this. One was against another “Thaynara Almedia” that is almost certainly just a fake name. And this was the other one:…
