LAS VEGAS – Leah McCourt was all squared away to finally get a crack at Bellator gold after years and years of grinding. She even had a faceoff with champion Cris Cyborg in the cage earlier in the year.
However, as things sit in December, with the recent PFL acquisition of Bellator, McCourt (8-3 MMA, 7-2 BMMA) is uncertain what her next bout will be.
PFL has announced plans to have Bellator champions go head-to-head with 2023 PFL champions in an event in early 2024. This would mean McCourt would either have to sit out and wait for Cyborg (27-2 MMA, 6-1 BMMA), or take another fight in the meantime.
