Nogueira was expected to make her promotional debut at Bellator 133 against Julia Budd on February 13, 2015.[3] However, Nogueira pulled out of the fight due to a knee injury and was replaced by Gabrielle Holloway.[4]

Nogueira was scheduled to face Marloes Coenen at Bellator 163 but the bout was cancelled the day before the event when Talita failed to make weight.[5]

Nogueira faced Amanda Bell at Bellator 182 on August 25, 2017. She won the fight via a rear-naked choke submission in the first round.[6]

In her first title shot, Nogueira faced Julia Budd on July 13, 2018 at Bellator 202. She lost the title fight via TKO in the third round.

Nogueira faced Jessy Miele at Bellator 231 on October 25, 2019. She lost a close bout via split decision.[7]

Talita faced Jessica Borga on April 9, 2021 at Bellator 256.[8] She won via a unanimous decision, even with a point deduction in the second round due to an illegal blow to the back of Borga's head.[9]
