Bella Mir might be one of the busiest 22 year old athletes in the world.

After scoring a win at UFC BJJ 1in June, her fourth professional fight is set for Fury Challenger Series 14 on Sunday as she returns to MMA for the first time in over three years. Her absence from fighting wasn’t self-chosen but rather a necessity as she figured out her future in wrestling after starting out in the powerhouse program at Iowa but nearly gave up the sport due to injuries.
