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.
