It appears as though Bellator women’s 115-pound champ Zoila Gurgel won’t have to suffer as much when she returns to the cage.
Following this past Saturday’s Bellator 59 event, CEO Bjorn Rebney indicated that his promotion is unlikely to groom a challenger to Gurgel’s title for next year.
“My expectation is that Zoila will be back, and she’ll be in the mix with some of the best ladies in the world that fight under our banner, but I think it will happen at a weight class probably closer to [125 pounds],” Rebney told MMAjunkie.com.
