Colleen Schneider signs with Bellator, Debuts at Bellator 170

Colleen Schneider has signed with Bellator MMA and will debut in January. MMAjunkie reports that Schneider, who is the girlfriend of Josh Barnett, is expected to debut at Bellator 170. She will fight in the flyweight division.

“All the fights I’ve done at 125, I’ve finished my opponents,” Schneider told the site. “I’m decently tall for a 135-er, but I’m very tall for a 125-er, and I know how to use my reach well. I feel decently strong at 135 and super strong at 125. I think I’m going to be really hard to deal with.”

She added of Bellator, “They have a bit more of that pomp and circumstance, in a good way. When you watch a fight, you’re at a big event and you’re pumped up for it. I think they’re really trying to build the women’s flyweight division and bring a belt to that division.”
