In addition, both flyweights managed to finish their last opponent but did so in a different fashion. On one hand, Loureda showed off her power and impressive boxing, scoring a TKO. While on the other hand, Guy showed ground skills and impressed in her last bout with a rear-naked choke despite the performance not being in the Bellator promotion.

Loureda’s outlandish personality and social media presence at times rub her opponent the wrong way. But the rising prospect understands the necessity of selling a fight. However, her last opponent Tara Graff took issue with her and implied she was just a social media model. As a result, Loureda smoked Graff with a swift right cross and followed it up with ground and pound to secure the finish.
