Bellator Signs Darina Mazdyuk, Who Defeated 529-Pound Man in Intergender Exhibition

Darina
Mazdyuk
has caught the attention of Bellator MMA officials.

The 28-year-old Russian has signed a multi-fight contract with the
California-based promotion on the heels of her stoppage victory of
529-pound Grigory Chistyakov in an intergender exhibition bout that
went viral on social media. Mazdyuk defeated her opponent via
ground strikes when Chistyakov fatigued in less than 90 seconds.

Barstool Sports
was first to report the signing, and
Sherdog.com late confirmed the news with a promotion official.

A date for Mazdyuk’s Bellator debut is currently unknown.

A 28-year-old native of Moscow, Mazdyuk has compiled a 4-1
professional mark. The Fight Club Baza representative went 2-0 in
2020 and has competed in documented bouts at open weight, 145
pounds and 135 pounds.
