AgFight was first to report the signing. A date for Botelho’s
promotional debut is currently unknown, and terms of the deal were
not disclosed.
Botelho went 3-4 during a seven-bout UFC stint from 2017 to 2022.
She ended her tenure with the Las Vegas-based promotion on a
three-fight losing streak that included a first-round submission
defeat to Karine
Silva at UFC Fight Night 207 this past June.
The 33-year-old Nova Uniao product returned to the win column at
Invicta FC 49 on Sept. 28, when she defeated Helen
Peralta via unanimous decision. Botelho is 9-5 over the course
of a professional career that began in 2013.
