Bruna Ellen knows ‘it’s gonna be a war’ with Juliana Velasquez at Bellator 236

HONOLULU – Now 23, flyweight prospect Bruna Ellen has been growing her skillset and developing her career on the big stage after making her debut at the tender age of 20.

After picking up a solid victory against Elina Kallionidou at Bellator 224, Ellen (5-2, 3-2 BMMA) faces the toughest assignment of her young career against the undefeated Juliana Velasquez at Bellator 236.

The all-Brazilian battle could potentially produce the next challenger for the Bellator women’s flyweight title, and Ellen told MMA Junkie that fans should expect her bout with Velasquez (9-0, 4-0 BMMA) to produce plenty of action in Hawaii.

Check out the full interview with Ellen ahead of Saturday’s fight in the video above.
