After three rounds, Bella Mir sported a swollen and bloody nose, a slight smile, and her first professional MMA win.
Her dad, former UFC heavyweight champ Frank Mir, wore the expression you’d expect from a proud papa as the Mir family gathered in the ring after the 17-year-old upstart’s unanimous decision over a surprisingly tough Danielle Wynn in the co-headliner of iKON Fighting Federation 2, which took place Thursday night and streamed live on UFC Fight Pass.
The final scores were all 29-28 for Mir, reflecting a late-round shift in momentum. Wynn bloodied Mir and made her work for everything, surviving a serious submission attempt in the third and ending the fight with a flurry of offense.
