Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Diana was born on August 7, 1998, in Ardon, North Ossetia . Her father was a wrestler, but ended his career early due to an knee injury. Her mother also wanted to go into sports, but her family did not allow her to do so, so when Diana grew up, her mother herself suggested that she take up wrestling. Avsaragova devoted about seven years to this type of martial arts and eventually became a master of sports of Russia. Diana is a national champion among juniors and a multiple winner of various tournaments. She trained both in North Ossetia and in Moscow. In the capital, she spent five years in a special boarding house for fighters, and then returned home.[4][5][6]

In 2014 and 2015, Diana became the bronze medalist of the Russian championship in freestyle wrestling among girls in the category up to 60 kg.[7][8]

Prior to Bellator, Avsaragova made her professional MMA debut in 2017 and earned two wins on the regional Russian MMA scene.[3][9][10]

In her Bellator debut at Bellator 256 on April 9, 2021, Avsaragova defeated Tara Graff in 29-seconds via knockout.[9][12]

Avsaragova faced Gabriella Gulfin on July 16, 2021, at Bellator 262.[13] She won the bout via split decision.[14]

Avsaragova was scheduled to face Ashley Deen on March 12, 2022, at Bellator 276.[15] The week of the event, Deen tested positive for COVID-19 and was replaced by Kyra Batara.[16] Avsaragova won the bout via unanimous decision.[17]
