Bellator signs undefeated grappling standout Jena Bishop

Bellator has added a familiar name to its women’s flyweight division.

The promotion has inked undefeated fighter Jena Bishop to an exclusive, multi-fight contract, a Bellator official confirmed to MMA Junkie.

At 36, Bishop (4-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) got into the MMA game late after a decorated career in the grappling and jiu-jitsu world. The American made her debut in October 2021, and has since racked up four wins – with two by submission – under the LFA banner.

She’ll now attempt to take the next leap in her career, joining Bellator’s 125-pound division that’s currently ruled by champion Liz Carmouche.

The date and opponent for Bishop’s Bellator debut have not been revealed at this time.
