When fans get a glimpse of Anatasia Yankova fight for Bellator, they might wonder why the biggest promotional organization in MMA failed to pick up the Muay Thai champion fighter. Yankova potentially has everything on her resume to be a big draw for any promotion she is fighting for.

The recently signed Bellator flyweight with a 2-0 record spoke with mk.ru recently about how she opted to sign with Bellator over the UFC (transcribed by Google Translate):

“All that matters is that I know the conditions of that offer in UFC, and I know the conditions of Bellator. At this stage, all the Bellator advantageous conditions, including in financial terms. Plus is also very important fad monopoly: UFC is not allowed anywhere else to act. And important for me to box and even in Russia.”

Lena Ovchynnikova as well.

Remember that Coker saw the value of WMMA long before Dana and the UFC did. He booked Rousey vs Tate and proved Dana wrong.

Lena vs Anastasia will be HUGE when they book that fight (after building hype for it).

UFC doesn't want their fighters getting injured outside their org so I don't think they missed any boat.

she's a real butterface too if we are talking about looks, and she's borderline "it's a trap" material :)
