New Bellator signee Ana Julaton, a champion boxer, hoping to land fight with Heather Hardy

With so many top MMA fighters — from Conor McGregor to Cris Cyborg to Stipe Miocic — entering the world of boxing or exploring the idea, that potential transition has become a major fad. Perhaps even one of the stories of 2017 in mixed martial arts.

Ana Julaton, on the other hand, is going the other way. And she has been for the last three years. Julaton is a two-time boxing champion who also competes in MMA, fighting four times for ONE Championship since 2014. Earlier this month, she signed a deal with Bellator MMA.
