Yearning for Action: No Women’s Fights Booked in Bellator, Here are the Must-See Fights We Need!

As avid fans of women’s mixed martial arts (MMA), we look forward to thrilling matches that showcase the incredible skills of the sport’s talented athletes. However, it’s worth noting that one of the big promotions, Bellator MMA, has yet to announce a women’s MMA bout. We crave the shocking action and captivating stories that women’s MMA has to offer, but we also remain hopeful for the future. In this article, we’ll explore some of the exciting potential fights that could revitalize Bellator’s women’s division.

Bellator MMA has a history of promoting women’s MMA and showing outstanding talent within its ranks. Fighters like Chris Cyborg, Zoila Fraust and Ilima-Ray McFarlane are synonymous with Bellator’s commitment to women’s MMA. Recognizing this tradition, we look forward to the promotion continuing to support the women’s division.

But with no women’s MMA fights scheduled in Bellator’s lineup, fans are desperate for more. It’s essential to remember that women’s MMA is a huge draw, with immense talent and compelling stories waiting to be told. As fans, we love to see these outstanding athletes step into the cage and showcase their skill, determination, and courage.

Proposed battles to revitalize the Bellator Women’s Division:

Bellator’s Featherweight Division: The Standout Category in PFL Competition

Bellator’s efforts to showcase elite women’s featherweight talent have made the division stand out, especially given the UFC’s limited investment in the division. But with the Professional Fighters League (PFL) also targeting the featherweight division, Bellator faces increasing competition. Given this, Bellator has an opportunity to establish itself as the premier promotion for the women’s featherweight bout and maintain its position as the go-to platform for top-level bouts.

1. Chris Cyborg vs. Cat Zingano: The long-awaited clash between two powerhouses, Chris Cyborg and Cat Zingano, will be an explosive clash for the featherweight title. With Justino’s impressive 5-0 record with Bellator and Zingano’s 4-0 unbeaten promotion record, this fight is one to look forward to and one that’s sure to wow the fans. It will be.
2. Sarah McMann vs. Sarah Collins: Sarah McMann, who cemented her status as a top contender with her debut victory over Arlene Blenkow, will take on undefeated prospect Sarah Collins. Collins’ recent submission win over former Invicta champion Pam Sorenson further underscores her potential. This exciting matchup will serve as a featherweight title eliminator and potentially even more stakes for the division.
3. Arlene Blenkow vs. Leah McCourt: A fresh matchup between two OGs in the division, Arlene Blenkow and Leah McCourt, will provide an exciting fight for fans. Brenkow’s experience and McCourt’s tenacity make for a compelling bout that will shake up the featherweight rankings.

Flyweight Showdown:

Moving up to the flyweight division gives Bellator the chance to pull off a thrilling matchup between two skilled fighters.

4. Liz Carmusch vs. Ilima-Ray MacFarlane: The showdown between reigning flyweight champion Liz Carmusch and former champion Ilima-Ray McFarlane will be a highly anticipated fight. Carmusi’s recent victory over Juliana Velázquez, who usurped her crown from McFarlane, adds a compelling dynamic to this potential rematch. With Carmouche having an unblemished 6-0 record in Bellator and McFarlane having some great experience in the promotion, this showdown will determine the true strength of the flyweight division.

As fans, we are eagerly awaiting the return of thrilling women’s MMA action at Bellator and look forward to the unforgettable moments these battles will bring.
