MMA Fighter Jena Bishop Hits The Beach In Pink Bikini

Jena Bishop made her promotional debut at Bellator 291 on February 25, 2023.

Now she is showing off her body while hitting the beach and soaking up the sun.

The blonde MMA fighter showed off her bikini body as she hit the beach in a skimpy pink bikini -- however, her toned body was not the only thing on display.

"That's not a new tattoo 😞," she captioned the post, referring to the nasty bruise she received on her left upper cheek.

One fan said to embrace the tattoo, writing, "Tie dye bootay! 😍🙌🏾".  While another simply just wrote, "Ouch!"

According to Jits Magazine, Bishop has been focusing on making her MMA debut for the past several years. She beat her first four opponents, even winning the ADCC Trials in 2019. Due to her success, she earned a call up to the bigger leagues at Bellator, with the promotion matching her against Kallionidou at Bellator 291.

Per the outlet, "It should have been a tough fight on paper, because Kallionidou is significantly more experienced in the cage than Bishop. She had a 9-4 professional record coming into the fight and spent almost half her career fighting for Bellator, so she it looked like she might have been enough of a veteran to keep the fight in areas where she could potentially beat Bishop."

The MMA fighter recently spoke out, admitting that her striking is likely to be tested no matter who she faces.

“Yeah for sure. Two of my opponents were Judo girls, and that was their strength, so I thought ‘oh yeah, for sure they’re going to try and throw me, try to get it to the ground’ because they want to use their judo,” Bishop told Cageside Press in a recent exclusive interview. “I learned really quickly that that was not the case, because they didn’t think that they wanted to go to the ground with me.”

“I can’t expect that anyone is going to want to, so for sure, I need to have my hands sufficient enough to get me there,” she added.

Regardless, Bishop's number one focus is to have fun. “I’m having fun with it," she said. "I don’t hate it. I think at first, I was like, ‘can we just be on the ground? It’s so much more fun, and punching on the ground is a lot of fun too."

“The more comfortable I get with it, the more I’m liking it. But you do see a lot of grapplers that fall too in love with it almost, where they stray from their strengths," she explained.

“I think that’s where I’m trying to just stay focused and have fun with the striking stuff and get myself as good as I can," she added, "but not lose sight of what I’m best at.”

The new MMA fighter concluded with, "I want to be the best, I want to get an opportunity to get the belt. That’s ultimately my goal, so I don’t want to waste any time doing it. My path is just to fight as much as I can, as often as I can, to get me there.”
