The story
ilvia La Notte, the Little Devil from Milan, won her first world titles in savate before adding more in K-1 and Muay Thai. Standing 1.58 m, she made her debut in 2002, won the FIS world title at 51 kg in Brussels in 2003 and the European title at 48 kg in 2008, and became world champion again in November 2009 with a majority decision over France's Cloé Cabarrecq in Longwy. The same years brought K-1 success: she won Japan's J-Girls World Queen tournament in 2008 and 2009 and the WAKO Pro world title in Milan in 2009, which she defended three times, the last against Ludivine Lasnier in 2018. She added an ISKA world Muay Thai title in 2013 and national amateur boxing titles in Italy. In 2019 she called her Bellator contract the peak of her career.
