Bellator Adds Talita Nogueira to Newly Created Women’s Featherweight Division
By FCF Staff
Bellator has added another fighter to its newly created, women’s featherweight division, as the promotion has announced the signing of Talita Nogueira. The news comes not long after Bellator signed featherweights Marloes Coenen and Julia Budd.
Nogueira joins Bellator having gone 6-0 since she turned pro in 2009. The decorated jiu-jitsu competitor hasn’t fought since December, when she tapped out Michelle Oliveira.
“Joining Bellator is like a dream come true,” Nogueira said in a press release from the promotion. “Since I began my MMA career I wanted to compete in a promotion like Bellator so I want to thank Scott and Rich for bringing back women’s MMA to Bellator and I promise I will train harder than anyone to put on entertaining fights for Bellator.”
No information regarding Nogueira’s promotional debut was disclosed.
