And she might be looking to continue her fighting career somewhere other than the Bellator cage—a place that has been her home for the past six years.
The 38-year-old recently spoke to MMA Junkie from her home in Port Moody, British Columbia and revealed she fought out her contract with a split decision win over Dayana Silva at Bellator 257 in April.
She told that outlet that she was eager ti test free agency for the first time since leaving Invicta Fighting Championships in 2013.
