Kristina Williams talks recovering from nasty leg injury, next chapter of career at XFC Young Guns 1

Kristina Williams is ready to turn the page in her mixed martial arts career with the next chapter taking place this weekend.

Williams (3-3), who competed her entire pro career to this point exclusively for Bellator MMA, returns to action at XFC Young Guns 1 to face Helen Lucero (1-1) this Saturday. The event takes place at the Oklahoma City Convention Center in Shawnee, Okla.

“Warhorse” opened up a lot of eyes when she stopped Heather Hardy in her promotional debut at Bellator 185 in October 2017. From there, Williams picked up a win over Emily Ducote before facing former UFC title challenger Valerie Letourneau in just her third pro fight—dropping a unanimous decision.
