After her win, Sora Rakhmonova posted a clip of the victory to her Instagram page and wrote “UFC? @danawhite”
Her brother, then retweeted @Grabaka_Hitman’s clip and wrote “UFC soon @danawhite @Mickmaynard2”
If Sora does earn a UFC contract and joins her brother, it will be only the second time a brother and sister have fought for the promotion. Mizuki Inoue and Naoki Inoue are the only other siblings to do it, but they were not under contract at the same time.
With the victory, Sora moves to 4-1 as a professional mixed martial artist. Her brother is undefeated at 17-0.
