The Colombian fighter, who recently picked up a quick, first-round technical knockout win over Taylor Turner on the main card of Bellator 225 last month, believes she’s fixed the holes in her game needed to have her challenge for Bellator gold once again.
Lara has been mainly known for her striking during her Bellator run, but against Turner the young contender proved she can be dangerous on the ground. Some might’ve not seen that type of performance coming from Lara, but she definitely expected to shine on the ground that night in Connecticut.
“The truth is that I did expect it with what I’ve been working on, what I’ve been seeing,” Lara told MMA Fighting.
