Denise Kielholtz may have lost her most recent fight, but that didn’t deter Bellator from keeping her around.

Kielholtz (2-2 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) has signed a new deal with the organization that will keep her around for the foreseeable future, a promotion official today verified with MMAjunkie.

The 29-year-old is the current Bellator Kickboxing women’s flyweight champion, but hasn’t fought in the striking-only sport since defending her belt in April 2017.

Since that fight, Kielholtz has turned her attention solely to MMA. With an 0-1 record after a single bout in October 2015, Kielholtz put together back-to-back victories under the Bellator banner in the 125-pound division.

Kielholtz got a step up in competition against a divisional veteran in Vega Arteaga at Bellator 205 in September, but would succumb to a second-round submission from Arteaga, who is now set to challenge champ Ilima-Lei Macfarlane on April 27 in San Jose, Calif.

Five months after her defeat, Kielholtz does not have her next fight announced after signing her new contract.
