Bella Mir can’t actually remember when she started learning martial arts.
All she knows for certain is she was still wearing diapers when her father, former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir, was teaching her how to apply and escape an arm bar. Now just days away from her professional fighting debut, Mir is excited for the opportunity to begin creating her own legacy in the sport while showcasing everything she’s been learning since before she was old enough to walk.
“I’m excited and I’m nervous at the same time,” the 17-year-old Mir told MMA Fighting about her debut at IKON Fight Federation in Mexico with the bout airing on UFC Fight Pass.
