MMA rising star Valerie Loureda says her career has exploded over the past few months due to a combination of violence and sex appeal … and she’s loving every second of it.
Loureda blew up on social media back in August by obliterating Tara Graff at Bellator 243, which earned her a multi-fight contract with Bellator. She’s now 3-0 as a pro, with 2 knockouts.https://www.instagram.com/p/CDnBPGtBp4y/embed/captioned/?cr=1&wp=408&rd=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tmz.com&rp=%2F2020%2F10%2F18%2Fvalerie-loureda-bellator-mma-fighter-career-exploded-after-twerk-video%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A9414.900000000216%2C%22ls%22%3A8426.600000000008%2C%22le%22%3A8437.5%7D
Loureda celebrated her new contract with a twerk video that also went viral … and her popularity has been skyrocketing ever since.
Now, Loureda says Hollywood has come calling — with talent agents knocking down her door and TV producers offering up a reality show.https://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-0&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1294064308469538817&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tmz.com%2F2020%2F10%2F18%2Fvalerie-loureda-bellator-mma-fighter-career-exploded-after-twerk-video%2F&siteScreenName=TMZ&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550px
22-year-old Loureda says she’s flattered by the interest — and wants to get involved in entertainment at some point — but for now, her focus is on fighting.
“Several talent agents have reached out to me to try to get me to enter entertainment, and film different things, and honestly I love all of that and that’s my goal at the end of my career,” Valerie tells us.
“But, right now, I’m really focused on fighting and winning fights comes first. But, yeah for sure, that’s a dream for me.”
The big question … when is Valerie getting back in the cage?
Loureda says she’s currently recovering from an eye injury — but she’s hoping to fight again in 2020. Bellator is still working on an opponent.
In the meantime, Valerie continues to be a hit on social media.
