The Bellator women's division continues to grow in depth with latest signing
by Andreas Georgiou - @AGeorgiouMMA
Bellator President Scott Coker continues his reinvigoration of Bellator's womens division, and adding to latest signings: Marloes Coenen and Julia Budd, Bellator have announced the addition of undefeated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ace Talita Nogueira (6-0).
The top 10 ranked Featherweight is a multiple-time jiu-jitsu champion, and will look to make Bellator her new stomping ground.
"Joining Bellator is like a dream come true. Since I began my MMA career I wanted to compete in a promotion like Bellator so I want to thank Scott and Rich for bringing back women’s MMA to Bellator and I promise I will train harder than anyone to put on entertaining fights for Bellator.”
Beginning her MMA career in 2009, “Treta” amassed a 4-0 record before taking time off to focus solely on jiu-jitsu. Nogueira returned to MMA in 2013, picking up two more first round submission victories, and now has the opportunity to compete inside the Bellator cage.
“We are always excited when we can bring in a talent like Talita to the organization,” Coker said. “This is just the beginning for women’s MMA here at Bellator. We want to make a very serious commitment to this division, and this is just the start.”
