Bella Mir Headlines DWCS Seeking UFC Contract

Bella Mir will compete for a UFC contract when she faces Alex Apodaca in the bantamweight headliner at Dana White's Contender Series Season 10 Week 3, the promotion announced on social media.

The 23-year-old daughter of former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir brings a perfect 4-0 record into the August bout at Meta Apex in Las Vegas. She last fought in July 2025, finishing Stephanie Calderon by first-round submission under the Fury FC banner.

Mir's Path to the Contender Series

Mir made her professional debut in 2020 before stepping away from competition for nearly three years to develop her grappling skills. Her opponent Apodaca enters the matchup riding a three-fight winning streak, most recently defeating Devon McDonald by decision at Fury FC.

The full DWCS Week 3 card also features Carlos Petruzzella vs. Nick Galanti, Gary Balletto Jr. vs. Sean Clancy Jr., Alexis Miranda vs. Ronald Humphrey, and Mario Piazzon vs. Guilherme Uriel.
