FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Leah mccourt hopes pfl acquisition doesn t throw monkey wrench into bellator title shot vs cris cyborg - The Untold Story

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.
