Bella Mir’s opponent revealed for DWCS headline bout

Bella Mir will make her Dana White's Contender Series debut on August 25, facing Alex Apodaca in the headline bout of the card. The matchup marks the fifth professional fight for the 23-year-old Mir, daughter of former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir.

Mir returns to competition for the first time in over a year after submitting Stephanie Calderon in the opening round under the Fury FC banner. She made her professional debut with a decision victory and has finished all subsequent opponents, establishing herself as a finisher at the amateur and early pro levels.

Apodaca brings momentum into the bout, riding a three-fight win streak into what represents the biggest opportunity of her career. The fighter spent her first three professional bouts competing for Colorado's Peak Fighting promotion before moving to Fury FC, where she secured a recent decision win over Devon McDonald less than a month ago.
