Bellator MMA inks Darina Madzyuk to multi-fight deal after beating up 529-pound man

While many hailed her fight against 529-pound monster, Grigory Chistyakov, at a recent Fight Circus event in Russia the biggest freak show ever (and rightfully so), Darina Madzyuk has parlayed her bizarre win into a golden opportunity.

Madzyuk scored a first-round technical knockout (TKO) win over Chistyakov, which was good enough to grab Bellator MMA’s attention as the Viacom-owned company inked her to a multi-fight deal to compete at Strawweight, per a report from Barstool Sports.

Madzyuki is currently 3-1 in her professional mixed martial arts (MMA) career, and has only been fighting professionally for 18 months, competing in multiple weight classes. She joins a list of fighters who have recently been scooped up by Bellator, which includes former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight champion, Fabricio Werdum.

Scott Coker and Co. also secured the services of former two-time Middleweight title contender, Yoel Romero, as well as multiple-time Light Heavyweight championship contender, Anthony Johnson.

No word yet on a potential debut date for Madzyuk.
