Continues MMA sabbatical, picks up second win at Bellator 196
Kielholtz defeated Petra Castkova via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at Bellator 196 on Friday in Budapest, Hungary.
ANALYSIS
Kielholtz is the reigning Bellator Kickboxing flyweight champion. However, in her two Bellator MMA fights, she has done her best work on the ground and in the clinch. On the feet, she clearly had a technique and polish advantage, but she was at a severe reach and range disadvantage. She stalked Castkova around the cage and landed strikes. However, she still ate a lot of shots against an overmatched opponent. Kielholtz improves to 2-1 in MMA and 2-0 in Bellator. The flyweight division is starved for challengers, so another win might put her into the title picture.

Picks up quick submission win in Bellator MMA debut
Kielholtz defeated Jessica Middleton via submission (scarfhold armbar) at 1:16 of Round 1 at Belltor 188 on Thursday in Tel Aviv, Israel.
ANALYSIS
Kielholtz had made her MMA debut two years ago without very much fanfare. After winning the Bellator Kickboxing flyweight championship and defended the belt once, she decided to return to MMA. Despite coming from a striking background, she was able to score the finish with a submission less than two minutes into the first round. Kielholtz came out throwing hard punches, but when Middleton closed the distance she countered with a head and arm throw. From there, she locked in a scarfhold armbar and got the tap. It will be interesting to see where she goes in the Bellator flyweight division. Middleton was certainly not in the title picture, but she was 2-2 in the promotion going into this fight.
