Daughter of former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir and an NCAA national champion in wrestling, Bella Mir was the greatest betting favourite in Contender Series historical past, coming in at -6000 in some locations, but was unable to have much success with her wrestling and grappling and was outworked over quarter-hour by Apodaca.

At just 23 years previous, this is seemingly only a setback for Mir, but given her outspoken stance before the combat, where Mir declared her intention to become “the best athlete of all time,” Mir already had some detractors in the MMA neighborhood, who were fast to soar on the upset loss.
