Bella Mir, daughter of MMA legend Frank Mir, suffers historic upset as -6000 favorite on UFC's Contender Series
The stunning result, pulled off by the little-known Alex Apodaca, is one of the biggest betting upsets in MMA history.
In an unprecedented upset, Alex Apodaca, a formidable underdog with a +1500 betting line, defeated the favored Bella Mir, the daughter of UFC legend Frank Mir, in the Season 10, Week 4 main event of the UFC's Contender Series. Mir, 23, suffered her first professional MMA loss, following a unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) in favor of Apodaca.
The shocking result led UFC CEO Dana White to publicly express his pride in Apodaca, declaring her as "the biggest underdog in the history of the UFC." Apodaca, who has been making waves in the grappling world, demonstrated her skills in the Octagon, eliciting strong praise from White, who had long known Bella since she was a child.
