The influx of female talents has created a vital link in the chain between promotions that seems to be growing ever stronger by the second in the ongoing efforts to give women a voice of empowerment. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will be introduced to two of the leading females of fearless strength creating a wealth of contrasting colours in Bellator MMA with their own deadly tools of the trade.
