Bella Mir returns to wrestling at RAF 14 after DWCS defeat as Allen replaces Page

Bella Mir will make her return to competitive wrestling at Real American Freestyle 14 on October 23 at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, facing Hope Chase in a middleweight bout. The matchup marks her first outing since a defeat on Dana White’s Contender Series ended her brief foray into professional MMA.

Mir, daughter of former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir, arrived in mixed martial arts with significant credentials on the mat, having captured an NCAA women’s wrestling championship before signing with the Contender Series. The loss there prompted her pivot back to the sport where she first made her name, and RAF 14 represents the platform she has chosen to rebuild momentum.

The card has also seen a notable late change. Michael Page has withdrawn from his previously announced catchweight clash with Russian veteran Alexander Shlemenko, with UFC middleweight Brendan Allen now stepping in to fill the slot.

The updated RAF 14 lineup is as follows:

• Arman Tsarukyan vs. Dillon Danis (middleweight)
• Khamzat Chimaev vs. Robbie Lawler (catchweight)
• Lucia Yepez vs. Sarah Hildebrandt (strawweight)
• Jordan Oliver vs. Ridge Lovett (lightweight)
• Nathan Tomasello vs. Roman Bravo-Young (bantamweight)
• Nick Suriano vs. Dylan Ragusin (featherweight)
• Jordan Burroughs vs. Michael Caliendo (middleweight)
• Sebastian Rivera vs. Vito Arujau (featherweight)
• Yonger Bastida vs. Greg Kerkvliet (heavyweight)
• Pat Downey vs. Magomed Magomedkerimov (catchweight)
• Mekhi Lewis vs. Akhmed Gadzhimagomedov (cruiserweight)
• Brendan Allen vs. Alexander Shlemenko (catchweight)
• Bella Mir vs. Hope Chase (middleweight)
