Alexis Dufresne talks restarting career in Bellator: 'I was quite immature' during my UFC run

Former UFC bantamweight Alexis Dufresne is getting ready to fight MMA legend Marloes Coenen in Bellator this Friday, May 20th and she sat down with Bloody Elbow to talk about taking the biggest fight of her career.

Sometimes you get an opportunity too big to turn down. That may be the case for Alexis Dufresne as the former UFC bantamweight steps up on little more than two week's notice to face one of the best and most notable woman fighters in MMA, Marloes Coenen.

Dufresne has been sidelined for almost a year and a half, since her last fight, a unanimous decision loss to Marion Reneau at UFC 182.
