Frank Mir’s daughter returns to wrestling after stunning DWCS loss

Bella Mir, the NCAA women's wrestling champion turned MMA hopeful, will return to competitive grappling after her loss on Dana White's Contender Series. She faces Hope Chase at Real American Freestyle 14 on October 23 at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, broadcast on Fox Nation. The event has undergone a notable change: Michael Page withdrew from a scheduled bout with Alexander Shlemenko, with UFC middleweight Brendan Allen stepping in to replace him. The RAF 14 card features a mix of elite wrestlers and combat athletes, including top-name matchups such as Arman Tsarukyan versus Dillon Danis (middleweight), Khamzat Chimaev versus Robbie Lawler (catchweight), and Lucia Yepez versus Sarah Hildebrandt (strawweight). Additional bouts include Jordan Oliver versus Ridge Lovett (lightweight), Nathan Tomasello versus Roman Bravo-Young (bantamweight), Nick Suriano versus Dylan Ragusin (featherweight), Jordan Burroughs versus Michael Caliendo (middleweight), Sebastian Rivera versus Vito Arujau (featherweight), Yonger Bastida versus Greg Kerkvliet (heavyweight), Pat Downey versus Magomed Magomedkerimov (catchweight), and Mekhi Lewis versus Akhmed Gadzhimagomedov (cruiserweight). Mir's appearance marks her first competition since her DWCS setback, signaling her pivot back toward her grappling roots.
