Many believe that Bella Mir will still achieve great things in MMA despite suffering the first loss of her professional career several months ago.

In a recent interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, the 23-year-old laid out her plans for the future.

Mir is hoping to fight in January and said that she has spoken to the UFC about her competing on Tuff-N-Uff in Las Vegas due to this being easy for the promotion’s bosses to attend.

She went on to explain that while she does have a say in what she does next, she can’t fully decide by herself due already being under UFC contract.

“Oh no, they’re my bosses pretty much,” Mir said.

The bantamweight fighter added that this has been the case regarding her MMA career since before she competed on Dana White’s Contender Series.

“I definitely like ask what I’m supposed to be doing but then they’re also like that making sure that I have some kind of, I don’t want to say say, they’re not just controlling parents.”

Bella Mir hopes to double her MMA experience before taking another shot at the UFC

With plans to fight in January, Bella Mir is hoping that fans will be seeing a lot of her in 2027.

The 23-year-old is striving to at least double her current amount of pro fights by competing four or five times before the next season of Dana White’s Contender Series.

It’s inevitable that Mir will get another shot on the show in the near future if she gets results and she believes she’s smart enough with her training to fit all this activity in.
