That makes Mir the biggest women\u2019s betting favorite in Contender Series history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The previous record holders were Shannon Clark, who reached -1500, and Antonina Shevchenko, who entered her appearance at -1350.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Of course, massive betting odds sometimes guarantee nothing. Clark was famously knocked out by Yuneisy Duben, who entered their fight as an enormous underdog.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Nevertheless, it is easy to understand why oddsmakers are so confident in Mir.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Mir is also undefeated in professional MMA at 4-0, with three first-round submissions (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2025\/7\/27\/24475631\/highlights-bella-mir-fury-fc-smokes-her-opponent-with-a-nasty-hammerlock\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">watch highlights<\/a>). She has remained active in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, winning several titles while compiling a perfect 3-0 record under the UFC BJJ banner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">All she does is win, right?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">That is certainly what oddsmakers expect her to do tomorrow. If Mir delivers another impressive performance, she could earn a UFC contract and take the next step toward following in her father\u2019s footsteps while carving out a legacy of her own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">For more Contender Series news and notes, be sure to hit up our comprehensive archive right <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-contender-series-dana-white\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cLady\u201d Mir is already making history.
