Mixed martial arts career

Amateur career

Micol made her amateur MMA debut in 2014 gaining the flyweight spot in the Italian National Team. She competed at the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation 2014 World Championship in Las Vegas, conquering a bronze medal after three hard fought rounds in the semifinals against the Brazilian Amanda Ribas. [9] The next year she became the Flyweight World Champion defeating the Swedish Anja Saxmark in the finals of the IMMAF 2015 World Championships.

Professional career

Signed with the South African promotion Extreme Fighting Championship (EFC) [10] [11] to make her professional debut in October 2015, [12] she faced Danella Eliasov to gain a unanimous decision win. After a second EFC bout at flyweight against Shana Power in June 2016, she started to divide her training camps between Rome and Albuquerque. [13] At Jackson Wink she had the chance to confront and master her skills with some of the best fighters in the world. [14] After dropping down to strawweight, she went on a five-fight winning streak, [15] mostly by finishing her opponents before the bell ring, [16] taking her to become the first Italian female to fight in European and international events like Cage Warriors, [17] RXF, [18] Brave Combat Federation [19] and Dana White's Contender Series. [20] At the beginning of 2020 the Spanish promotion AFL announced the first female only MMA event in Europe, [21] with Micol Di Segni as the first contender for the strawweight title. [22] [23]

The event got postponed to October 2020, with the title fight DiSegni vs Kerouche as the main event. Micol Di Segni conquered the inaugural strawweight title defeating her opponent with ground and pound strikes during the third round of the main event of the “AFL Valkyries - DiSegni vs Kerouche” card. [24]

After winning a year later at Venator FC 8 via TKO stoppage in the second round against Adriana Fusini on October 30, 2021, DiSegni appeared at Ares FC 4 on March 10, 2022 against Eizabeth Rodrigues. She lost the bout via split decision. [25]

DiSegni appeared at Cage Warriors 144 on October 7, 2022 against Bryony Tyrell. She won the bout via unanimous decision. [26]
