Bellator flyweight champion Juliana Velasquez believes that her title reign will be a lengthy one because she doesn’t let the belt go to her head.
Velasquez says life hasn’t changed much since winning the belt. Sitting down with MMA Sucka, she was candid about her new life as a Bellator champion.
“I’ve been recognized on the streets more often than before, but that didn’t change much of my life. I didn’t let it affect me in any way. It didn’t change me negatively, so only good things so far.”
Undefeated, Velasquez is making sure to stay grounded as she prepares for her first title defense against Denise Kielholtz at Friday’s Bellator 262.
