A stinging leg kick provided the cover for a right hand that dropped Nogueira (7-1 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) in the third round, setting up a TKO at the 4:07 mark to bring Budd (12-2 MMA, 6-0 BMMA) her second title defense The women’s featherweight title bout was the main event of today’s Bellator 202 show at WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Okla. It aired on Paramount following prelims on MMAjunkie. Budd extends her current win streak to 10 fights. The last time she tasted defeat was a first-round armbar courtesy of UFC Hall of Famer Ronda Rousey in the now-defunct Strikeforce promotion]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ It may have taken just a single Bellator showing to get to challenge for Julia Budd ’s featherweight belt, but Talita Nogueira ’s road this far was rougher than her record would suggest. Nogueira (7-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) was signed to Bellator in 2014 , but only got to debut in 2017. Her original appointment was, incidentally, against now-champ Budd (11-2 MMA, 5-0 BMMA). The two were scheduled to meet at Bellator 133, in 2015, but ACL and meniscus tears forced Nogueira out just days before she was supposed to travel. After recovering for close to one year, Nogueira got another solid booking, against veteran Marloes Coenen, at Bellator 163. Three months prior to signing the bout agreement, though, Nogueira’s mother died. Nogueira still wanted her Bellator debut badly enough to push forward, but had put on a lot more weight than usual in the emotionally challenging aftermath of the tough loss]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: Bellator , News , Videos THACKERVILLE, Okla. – Bellator champion Julia Budd  is confident there will be suitable competition for her 145-pound throne, but she’s not entirely happy with the state of her “flaky” division. Budd (11-2 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) defended her title for the first time on Friday, when she took a controversial split decision over Arlene Blencowe (10-7 MMA, 3-3 BMMA) in Bellator 189’s headliner. It was a close call – certainly closer than she’d like – but ultimately it was enough to ensure Budd got to keep the belt she’d earned with a knockout of Marloes Coenen back in March. “I was nervous for this one,” Budd told MMAjunkie after the bout, which aired on Spike from World Casino &#038; Resort in Thackerville, Okla. ]]></description>
