Heather Hardy won’t be the only popular female boxer fighting for Bellator MMA later this month.
Ana Julaton will make her Bellator debut against Lisa Blaine at Bellator 185 on Oct. 20 at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, promotion officials told MMA Fighting on Thursday. Hardy will face Kristina Williams on the same card.
Julaton (2-2) signed with Bellator last month. She’s a former two-time women’s super bantamweight champion in boxing. Julaton, 37, made a move into MMA — like Hardy she still competes in boxing — for ONE Championship in 2014.
