Valerie Loureda won’t fight this month after all.
Due to an undisclosed injury, the flyweight prospect has withdrawn from her matchup with Tara Graff on the Bellator 238 event scheduled for Jan. 25 at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., a bout which was announced Monday.
MMA Junkie confirmed the bout’s fallout with a source with knowledge of the situation, after MyMMANews.com initially broke the news Tuesday.
Loureda (2-0 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) was scheduled to compete in her third professional fight. The 21-year-old Miami native made her pro MMA debut with Bellator in early 2019 after going 2-1 as an amateur in 2018. She comes from a taekwondo background and she was recently on MMA Junkie’s list of 20 fighters who could become stars in the 2020s.
No word yet on whether the bout will be rescheduled, or whether Graff (1-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) will have a new opponent.
