Sources: Rawlings returns to MMA with Bellator

MMA veteran Bec Rawlings is headed to Bellator MMA, sources say.

The former UFC fighter, known for her eccentric personality and colorful tattoos, recently agreed to terms with the promotion, though her debut hasn't been set yet, according to sources.

She will compete in Bellator's flyweight division.

Rawlings (7-8) was released from the UFC last year after suffering her fourth straight loss in the promotion. Since then, she has gone 3-0 in bare-knuckle fighting. She hasn't competed in MMA since April 2018.

She will now put her bare-knuckle career on hold to focus on MMA.

Rawlings, 30, a former Invicta FC strawweight title contender, fights out of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
