The NCAA NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) is still a contentious topic in some states. However, UFC and Dana White are taking proactive steps to support student-athletes. Recently, they appointed Bella Mir as their first NIL ambassador. Bella Mir is a decorated wrestler, having captured four consecutive Nevada state high school wrestling titles before joining the University of Iowa’s women’s wrestling team.

Bella Mir made her professional debut at the age of 17. In addition, she was in the top six in the 144 lbs national division during her high school career. She was also a 2021 USA Wrestling Junior Folkstyle National Champion. Moreover, she’s also a successful jiu-jitsu practitioner, winning the 2022 American National Jiu-Jitsu and 2021 International Jiu-Jitsu Con Championships.

By appointing Bella Mir as their NIL ambassador, UFC and Dana White are showing their support for student-athletes. Moreover, supporting their ability to profit from their name, image, and likeness as well. This move is a positive step towards creating a fair and equitable system for student-athletes.
