Bec Rawlings is coming back to MMA.
Rawlings’ management, SuckerPunch Entertainment, announced on Wednesday that she has signed with Bellator. The confirmation comes one day after ESPN first reported the news. Details of the deal were not disclosed.
Rawlings, 30, was released by the UFC last year following a four-fight losing streak that ended a rough three-and-a-half-year run in which she went 2-5 with the promotion. The Australian’s next move was into the world of bare-knuckle boxing, where she became a champion under the Bare Knuckle FC banner.
Rawlings made three appearance for BKFC and was unbeaten, defending her title twice. She most recently fought in February at BKFC 4, where she defeated Cecilia Flores by unanimous decision.
Rawlings’ last MMA fight was in April 2018. She lost a unanimous decision to Ashlee Evans-Smith at UFC 223.
Rawlings is 7-8 overall in her MMA career, which includes three fights with Invicta FC. She’s expected to compete in the Bellator women’s flyweight division.
