Bella Mir has booked her third professional fight.
MMA Junkie was the first to report the news that Mir (2-0) will compete on XFN 381, which takes place at The Cove in Tulsa, Okla, on June 24. MMA Junkie also reported that Mir does not yet have an opponent set for XFN 381, but an opponent is expected to be finalized soon. The fight is expected to take place in the women’s bantamweight division.

Bella, the daughter of former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir, made her professional debut in 2020 against Danielle Wynn at iKon Fighting Federation 2 (now known as Jorge Masvidal’s iKon). She won a pretty dominant unanimous decision.
The 19-year-old would turn right around and fight two months later against Alma Cespedes at iKon Fighting Federation 4. Mir would pick up her first finish, submitting Cespedes via rear-naked choke in the third round.
Mir has not fought since and will be coming off a 17-month layoff when she enters the cage. MMA Junkie reports the teenager was finishing up and focusing on school as well as competing in amateur wrestling.

Last month, it was announced that Mir will be wrestling at Iowa State.
