Natalia Yuryevna Kuziutina (Russian: Наталья Юрьевна Кузютина; born 8 May 1989) is a Russian mixed martial artist and former judoka, who competes in the women's Strawweight divisions of Legacy Fighting Alliance, where she is current interim LFA Women's Strawweight Champion. Kuziutina also won a bronze at the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Career

[edit]

At the 2012 Summer Olympics, she lost her first round match against Romy Tarangul.[1]

Four years later, in Rio at the 2016 Summer Olympics, she won a bronze medal. She beat Ecaterina Guica before losing to Misato Nakamura. Because Nakamura reached the semi-finals, Kuziutina was entered into the repechage. There she beat Christianne Legentil and then beat Ma Yingnan in her bronze medal match.[1]
