Sarah D'Alelio (born December 13, 1980) is a professional mixed martial artist. She competes in the 135-pound women's bantamweight division for Invicta Fighting Championships and has also fought for Strikeforce.
D'Alelio was scheduled to face Julie Kedzie at Jackson's MMA Series 2 on September 4, 2010, but the fight was canceled after Kedzie signed on to take part in the filming of the Ultimate Women Challenge reality show.
D'Alelio's fight with Kedzie was then was rebooked for Jackson's MMA Series 3 on December 18, 2010 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She lost to Kedzie via unanimous decision.
Strikeforce announced at its April 9, 2011 event in San Diego that Gina Carano would make her return on June 18 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, during the Overeem vs. Werdum Strikeforce event against D'Alelio. Initially, Strikeforce announced that Carano had failed her pre-fight medical examination due to an unknown issue and the fight was pulled from the card. As the story developed, it became public that Carano was medically cleared by the Athletic Commission but was removed from the card for unknown reasons.
D'Alelio was then scheduled to make her Strikeforce debut against Ronda Rousey on July 30, 2011 at Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Henderson in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. The fight was pushed back and eventually took place on the Strikeforce Challengers 18 main card on August 12, 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Rousey defeated D'Alelio by technical submission due to an armbar early in the first round. D'Alelio contended that she did not verbally tap out and that the fight was prematurely stopped by the referee (Steve Mazzagatti).
D'Alelio made her Invicta FC debut at Invicta FC 1: Coenen vs. Ruyssen against Vanessa Mariscal, winning via submission (punches) in the second round.
