Uzbekistan's Liliya Shakirova close to joining Bellator MMA or Invicta Fighting Championships

Uzbekistan’s Liliya Shakirova revealed she is close to signing a contract with Bellator MMA or Invicta Fighting Championships despite invites from France, Singapore and United States.

In a short online interview, Shakirova shared his near future plans as she will be ready to join Bellator or Invicta if there will be no visa issues. Also, she mentioned interests from United States and France, however the 27-year-old Uzbek fighter named them as a big challenge but risky.

Shakirova is better on the mat but is also impressive on the feet as well. She has really good movement sticking with kicks and circling out.

Shakirova finds home with her overhand-right often and is accurate with it. She is also a solid wresler with emphatic takedowns. On top, her ground and pound is relentless going to the body-head often.
