Bella Mir, freshman wrestling star at Iowa and daughter of two-time heavyweight champ Frank Mir, says she not only dreams of winning a medal at the Olympics, but she wants to fight in the UFC!
is just a freshman at Iowa, but she's already a bonafide badass on the wrestling mat, and although it's likely years away,19-year-old Mir, already a top 10 ranked wrestler in her weight class, recently showed out at the USA Wrestling national championships in Washington ... securing a spot on the under-20 team.Mir, while not signed to the UFC, is already in business with Dana White's organization ... the MMA promotion signed Bella to a NIL deal back in January.So, apple, tree.
Although Bella isn't in the UFC just yet, she is fighting MMA professionally, securing a 3-0 record. Two of her fights ended in the first round, while her first fight was won by unanimous decision. Mir says she was scheduled to fight this summer ... but since she's made the Junior USA Wrestling team, Bella now has a choice to make.
"Right now I'm actually in a predicament cause this summer I was supposed to fight twice. One in June, one in August. But now my summer plans have changed a little bit cause I made the world team so now I'm going to worlds, and I'm going to Spain, I'm doing all these camps." "It's like I actually have to talk to Dad today and talk to him about what my summer looks like cause being a multisport athlete is pretty hard.""Of course. I think every girl's dream is wrestling is going to the Olympics, go to Worlds. They're the top 2 dreams. That's always been a dream of mine. Being an Olympian, that's one of a kind. Less than one percent of athletes are Olympians, and of course, that is something I think about all the time.
