As expected Zoila Frausto's knockout win at Bellator 23 has earned her the right to replace her defeated opponent in the organization's upcoming season-three tournament.
Frausto (7-1 MMA, 1-0 BFC) upset Rosi Sexton (10-2 MMA, 1-1 BFC) with a first-round knockout at the June 23 show.
Afterward, Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that Frausto might take Sexton's spot, and Frausto subsequently told us she wanted it.
"I've been doing this to fight the best, and I just beat one of the best," she said. "So hell yeah, I want that spot."
Bellator executives today made it official.
The tournament kicks off Aug. 12, and it includes seven other top 115-pound female fighters: Megumi Fuji, Lisa Ward, Jessica Pene, Angela Magana, Lynn Alvarez, Jessica Aguilar and Aisling Daly. The winner will be crowned Bellator's first-ever female champion.
"With a highlight knockout that's already generated over 70,000 YouTube views, Zoila stamped her ticket to our women's tournament," Bellator founder and CEO Bjorn Rebney stated. "The purpose of our women's tournament is simply to determine the best pound-for-pound female fighter in the world, and with such a dominant performance against the worlds’s No. 1-ranked 125 pound fighter, there was no way to not include Zoila in this line up. She earned her place by beating the best."
Rebney said the Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Authority first suspended Sexton for 90 days and then reduced the term to 60 days. But with the women's tournament right around the corner, the knockout spelled the end of the Cambridge University grad's tournament dreams.
Sexton, though, could be featured in a season-three non-title fight, he said.
Frausto, whose only career loss came to notable Miesha Tate in a March Strikeforce event, normally fights at 125 pounds but said she doesn't expect problems getting to 115.
Vanquish is proud of Zoila!
