Not new to the game

The match on “NXT LVL UP” will be Loureda’s first televised WWE match. However, it wasn’t her first in-ring performance as she already took part in a non-televised NXT event this past Nov. 12.

Loureda inked a multi-year deal with the WWE in June last year. Her MMA career was short but unlike other professional fighters who made the big switch to pro wrestling, “Master” found success inside the cage for the better part.

She made her Bellator debut in 2019 when she faced and TKO’d Colby Fletcher at Bellator 216. The Miami native went on and beat her next two opponents under the Bellator banner before losing to Hannah Guy at Bellator 259 in May 2021. Loureda last fought professionally in November 2021 when she decisioned Taylor Turner at Bellator 271. She finished her MMA stint with a 4-1 record.
