Bella Mir made a brief parachute back into MMA on Sunday and notched another victory for her undefeated record.
Mir, the daughter of former two-time UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir, told MMA Junkie in June after a UFC BJJ event that she wants to be as active as possible across a variety of combat sports, with her main focus being on the wrestling mats as she pushed to make the 2028 Olympic team.

In the interim, however, Mir (4-0) got back in the cage Fury FC Challenger Series 14 in Houston and overwhelmed an outmatched Stephanie Calderon (2-1). Mir isolated a limb for a nasty submission know to some as the “chicken wing,” getting the tap at the 3:58 mark of Round 1.

“That’s folkstyle wrestling right there – that’s a chicken wing,” Mir said in her post-fight interview. “I’m just glad I got to show my striking this fight because I just wanted to prove to people I could bang with really tough strikers like Stephanie. I see this as a really big win.”

The 21-year-old has admitted that her eventual goal is to make it to the UFC and follow in the footsteps of her father by claiming a championship. She is taking the steady approach, however, and Mir said it could be a while before she gets back into an MMA setting in pursuit of her fifth professional win.
“Maybe next year, we’ll go back at it again,” Mir said. “This was fun. I can’t wait.”
