UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Valerie Loureda expects to return to mixed martial arts competition in style. The Bellator flyweight prospect takes on Tara Graff on Friday during the preliminary card of Bellator 243. This is Loureda’s first bout in more than a year. She’s been kept out of competition due to injury, an appearance on the reality television show “Exatlon,” and the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Loureda (2-0 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) is excited to get back in the Bellator cage and expects to walk out with a finish.
