Bella Mir has her next competition booked – and it'll come on the mats rather than in a cage.

In what will be her first competition since her DWCS loss, Mir returns at RAF 14 when she wrestles Hope Chase, the promotion announced Thursday. The event takes place Oct. 23 at Fontainebleau in Las Vegas and streams on Fox Nation.

Mir, 23, had always planned on maintaining her wrestling and grappling career regardless of what happened during her UFC tryout on Aug. 25. The fight did not go as she had planned, as Mir lost a unanimous decision to Alex Apodaca in one of the biggest betting upsets in MMA history. Mir has since vowed to return to MMA stronger, but will go back to her grappling roots in the immediate.

A wrestler at North Central College after

transferring from the University of Iowa, Mir makes her RAF debut vs. the 7-3 pro MMA fighter Chase, who has competed for LFA and Invicta FC among other promotions.
