Bella Mir is transferring to North Central College in Naperville, Illinois. North Central placed second to Iowa at NCWWC Nationals and National Duals this past season. Mir will compete at 145 or 160 at North Central.
Mir placed fifth at 155 lbs. as a freshman this season with a 21-3 record for the national championship Iowa team.
Mir placed fifth at 68 KG at the 2023 U20 World Freestyle Championships and won gold at the 2023 Poland Open.
Mir is originally from Las Vegas, Nevada where she was a four-time state champion.
Mir began her MMA career at 17 and has a 3-0 career record.
In June Mir won the Blue Belt title in the Medium-Heavy Division (158 lbs.) and the Blue Belt Open Class at the American National IBJJF Jiu-Jistu No-Gi Championships.
Mir is the daughter of UFC Heavyweight champion Frank Mir.
I anticipated transfers out of the Iowa program following the addition of several high profile transfers over the summer.
I will have a complete rundown of the new Iowa Women’s Wrestling roster when classes begin at the University of Iowa on Monday, August 26.
It is great to be an Iowa Wrestling fan.
Go Hawks!
