Alejandra Lara’s attempt to capture Bellator gold earlier this year did not go as planned, and neither some of the preparations leading up to her championship fight.
The Colombian fighter challenged Bellator women’s flyweight champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane in the headlining bout of Bellator 201 back in June. Lara lost via third round arm-bar in what was one of the more exciting bouts that night in Temecula, Calif.
Despite having her three-fight win streak come to an end and not being able to defeat the champion, Lara left the cage satisfied with her performance.
