Bellator continues to add to its 125-pound women's division.
The MMA promotion signed women's MMA veteran Colleen Schneider to a contract this week, officials confirmed with MMA Fighting. MMAjunkie was the first to report the news. Schneider is expected to make her Bellator debut at Bellator 170 on Jan. 21 in Los Angeles.
Schneider (10-7) won four straight fights before falling to Tonya Evinger by unanimous decision in a Invicta bantamweight title fight back in May. The Los Angeles resident and girlfriend of MMA heavyweight stalwart Josh Barnett competed successfully at 125 prior to moving to 135 in 2013.
