The news of Sara Collins signing was first reported by Cbs Sports reporter Shakiel Mahjouri.  Collins who made her debut against former IMMAF World champion Gase Sanita winning by decision followed up that victory by handing Annie Thatcher her first loss in Pro MMA after an undefeated Amateur start. With another Decision victory over Jamie Edenden the young Sarah Collins has now amassed a perfect 3-0 record establishing herself as the best Lightweight in Australia.

Dropping down to 145lbs Sarah Collins is expected to be an immediate impact to the Bellator MMA Featherweight rankings with close to 40 minutes of total cage time experience already under her belt in the regional circuit. At only 31 years of age Collins has proven herself as a durable prospect with aggressive striking and great clench takedown/grappling abilities.

Bellator MMA continues to prove they are committed to the Female Featherweight division by signing the top international fighters in their prime. Cyborg who has been calling for a super fight against #1 contender Cris Cyborg said in the most recent The Catch Up with James Lynch that the bout would be the perfect event to welcome Bellator MMA to Brazil.  What do you think?  Would Cris Cyborg Vs Cat Zingano be a big fight for Bellator MMA to bring to Brazil?
