Peritore made her professional debut with Bellator Kickboxing against Li Mingrui at Bellator Kickboxing 1 on 16 April 2016.[8] She won the fight by a third-round technical knockout.[9]

Pertiore's next fight took place outside of Bellator, as she faced the pound for pound queen Anissa Meksen at La Nuit De L'Impact III on 20 May 2017. She suffered her fourth professional loss, as Meksen won the bout by unanimous decision.[15]
