The WWE star returns to her MMA roots in a gold bikini by shadowboxing.
Loureda is proving she still has all the right moves by practicing her jabs and weaves but is doing so in a gold bikini, allowing her assets and booty to jiggle around as she throws the punches.
“undeniable and untouchable. They can try to steal your recipe, but the sauce won’t taste the same 😘,” she wrote alongside the video.
Valerie Loureda’s UFC contract ended earlier this year, so she decided to pursue another career path by signing with the WWE.
When speaking about the new chapter in her life, Loureda told Ariel Helwani, “I have now become the first Cuban-American woman, and I am now a WWE superstar. I’m excited. I’ve dedicated my whole life to martial arts, and everything has come to this moment. And this is my opportunity to showcase my culture and entertain the world.”
Without hesitation, fans flooded the comments section, writing things such as “The woman of all time fr” and “I wanna see you in another MMA fight!!!”
Another commented, “Lola vs. Nikkita in the future for a world title will be awesome!”
While one said, “Future women’s champ 🔥🔥.”
Bellator President Scott Coker Speaks Out On Valerie Loureda
Valerie Loureda is best known for her time as an MMA fighter. However, she recently closed that chapter and opened a new one in WWE as the Miss MMA model announced earlier this year that she had signed a contract with WWE, ending her time in MMA for good.
Bellator President Scott Coker released a statement to MMA Fighting on Loureda’s decision to move to the WWE:
“Valerie Loureda is a very young and talented athlete who can accomplish plenty in MMA for years to come, but for now we wish her the best of luck as she pursues her dream of becoming a WWE Superstar. She will remain an active and under contract fighter with Bellator, and we look forward to welcoming her back into the cage in the near future. We take great pride in allowing our athletes to test themselves in additional arenas such as boxing and pro-wrestling.”
Loureda thanked the Bellator executives for believing in her, saying, “Scott Coker and Mike Kogan, Rich Chou, they believed in me when I was 19. My first professional fight was without shinguards at the Mohegan Sun. I was opening a main card. They allowed me to open a main card. They allowed me to brand myself, build this platform, and be me. I’m making this transition, and my mind has shifted, but I know what I will do in the WWE.”
The 23-year-old said, “I love fighting, but this is my time.”
