THACKERVILLE, Okla. – Kristina Williams will be a free agent after Bellator 239, and she hopes the promotion will bring her back.
Williams (3-2 MMA, 3-2 BMMA) has fought all of her career bouts under the Bellator banner. She completes her current contract Friday with a matchup against kickboxing standout Denise Kielholtz (4-2 MMA, 4-2 BMMA), and thus far hasn’t been offered anything new.
It appears her performance against Kielholtz will influence what type of offers come her way going forward, and from whom.
“This is my last fight on my contract so I kind of want to see if Bellator is going to re-sign me,” Williams told MMA Junkie on Wednesday. “I would like to be re-signed. I would just like to stay very active in the division.”
Bellator 239 takes place at WinStar World Casino and Resort. The women’s flyweight bout between Williams and Kielholtz is part of the prelims, which stream on MMA Junkie prior to the main card on Paramount.
Williams, who hasn’t fought since a TKO loss to Juliana Velasquez at Bellator 224 in July, said the matchup should bring out the best of her.
“I think she’s a really good opponent for me,” Williams said. “I think our styles are going to match up really well to make a really exciting fight for everyone.”
