The undefeated Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace is scheduled to take on Gabrielle Holloway in a featherweight bout in the preliminary portion of Bellator 182 in Verona, N.Y., on Aug. 25. Bellator officials confirmed the match-up to MMA Fighting.
Nogueira (6-0) was originally slated to make her promotional debut in Feb. 2015, but pulled out of a fight with future 145-pound champion Julia Budd due to a knee injury. It took over a year for “Treta" to return, but she ended up missing weight prior to her Bellator 163 bout with Marloes Coenen.
