The former UFC fighter is pregnant and out of her Bellator 137 fight with Arlene Blencowe, Bellator officials confirmed with MMAFighting.com on Friday morning. Bloody Elbow was the first to report the story.
Dufresne (5-2) was a top prospect coming into the UFC last year, but lost two straight, the most recent a dominant unanimous decision victory by Marion Reneau at UFC 182 in January. The 24-year-old was a multiple-time Brazilian jiu-jitsu champion before embarking on an MMA career.
