DWCS<\/a> (Dana White’s Contender Series) this summer. When asked if there have been, at least, discussions regarding the same, Mir stated, “Yes. Yes, sir. I’m just excited to get it going. Hopefully, I can get something announced soon. But yeah, there’s some discussions going on.”\u00a0<\/p>\nAdditionally, Heck questioned whether her fighting at DWCS is a done deal and if we could look forward to seeing her there. Mir replied, “Most likely. Yeah.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
The discussion then segued into Mir’s oft-discussed foray into the world of wrestling. She’s notably competed in the sport of freestyle wrestling under the RAF (Real American Freestyle) wrestling banner in the past.<\/p>\n
The rising combat sports star is also set to wrestle against Kennedy Blades, who’s an Olympic silver medalist and a fearsome wrestler, in a Final X matchup. They’re expected to wrestle later this year. It’s a matchup that was postponed after Blades suffered an injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On that note, there are concerns that Mir’s DWCS stint could hinder her wrestling career. She, for her part, seemed to suggest that competing in MMA was always a significant part of her plan, adding that she’s confident about achieving success in whatever combat sport she chooses to compete in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Regarding her possibly joining the DWCS and earning a UFC contract to compete in MMA bouts on the UFC main roster, Mir said, “This was always the plan. I think my plan is just always taking every opportunity thrown at me. And if it happens to be MMA, or wrestling, or whatever it is.”<\/p>\n
She added, “And this, actually, is perfectly timed for me. I made the U-23 World Team for wrestling. That’s in the end of October… Then, obviously, also train for Final X ’cause Kennedy pulled out for injury… And then, hopefully, UFC BJJ title fight coming soon.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
The flyweight MMA fighter underlined that she’d have just enough time to compete in MMA in the DWCS, then train and compete in wrestling for the Under-23 World Championships. Furthermore, Mir expressed interest in the RAF as well, signaling that she’d like to compete on an RAF card soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
