UFC sensation Diana Belbita is best known for her work inside the Octagon – but she earned thousands of fans while on reality TV.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old starred on a Big Brother-style show in her native Romania back in 2019, with 24-hour camera coverage – except it was set on a farm. The celebrities had three months of isolation away from the public – and those watching at home quickly took to her.<\/p>\n

Now fighting out of Canada, Belbita has a huge Instagram following of almost half a million fans, having won two of her last three UFC bouts. She returns against Karolina Kowalkiewicz this weekend in a bid to climb into the 115lb rankings.<\/p>\n

Nicknamed The Warrior Princess, Belbita initially studied judo, kickboxing and karate as a teen, before moving into MMA.<\/p>\n

She was open about the financial worries and lack of confidence that impacted her early career, but found her way into the UFC after four wins in a row between 2017 and 2019.<\/p>\n

Her current winning streak has boosted her desire to get to the top of the division, having won while injured against Maria Oliveira in June.<\/p>\n

Talking ahead of the bout, Belbita told the UFC: "I realised that it\u2019s my time to start to shine. It\u2019s my time. It\u2019s now.<\/p>\n

"I feel like I\u2019m not a kid anymore. I\u2019m 27 years old, I\u2019m a woman and I\u2019m a warrior.<\/p>\n

"I fought in Vancouver even though my foot was broken, and even with some other injuries, I realised that if I can do that even if I\u2019m not 100%.<\/p>\n
